The following is a release from Wise County Judge JD Clark:

Wise County emergency responders continue to manage a major severe‑weather incident impacting the Runaway Bay area this evening. The storm caused significant structural damage across multiple neighborhoods, resulting in at least 20 families displaced, numerous injuries, and one confirmed fatality.

Emergency crews from Wise County EMS, local fire departments, law enforcement agencies, and multiple mutual‑aid partners remain actively engaged in rescue, medical response, and damage assessment.

All county ambulances are committed to the incident, and additional EMS and fire resources from surrounding jurisdictions are en route or already operating in the area.

Access to several affected structures is severely limited due to roadway blockages, downed utilities, and debris. Responders are coordinating closely with utility providers to clear hazards and restore safe access for rescue operations.

The American Red Cross is inbound to support displaced families and assist with sheltering and recovery needs.

A Reunification Center has been established at:
513 Port O’ Call Drive, Runaway Bay
Families seeking information about loved ones or needing assistance are encouraged to report to this location.

For the safety of residents and first responders, the public is strongly urged to avoid the Runaway Bay area. Clear roadways are essential for emergency access and ongoing life‑safety operations.

Additional updates will be provided as conditions evolve and verified information becomes available.

Haltom City Police were dispatched just before 4:30 PM to the 6100 block of East Belknap, in the stadium parking lot, following reports of a shooting. Officers determined that three individuals had been shot.

One of the individuals, believed to be the shooter, was located outside of a vehicle, while the other two victims were found inside the car.

A female victim was transported to a local hospital but later pronounced deceased. The second female victim in the vehicle was pronounced dead at the scene. Medics attended to the shooter, but he was also pronounced deceased a short time later.

This is believed to be an isolated incident and the area is secured.

“We do not have reason to believe that the incident was related to Birdville Independent School District,” said HCPD.

At around 10:00pm on Wednesday evening, the Dallas Police Department and their fugitive team were conducting an investigation and tracked a suspect in a vehicle outside Children’s Medical Center in Dallas.

The suspect barricaded himself in a vehicle at 1934 Medical District Drive.

Officers used tear gas in an effort to get the suspect out of the vehicle. He exited the vehicle armed with a gun, and pointed it at officers. Officers opened fire and killed the suspect.

Police have labeled him as a “wanted suspect.”

No officers were injured.

The incident remains under investigation.

On Saturday, March 7, 2026, at approximately 10:15 p.m., Fort Worth Police Department’s Air One was en route to assist on a call for service in Central Division.

The helicopter took off from the heliport and was about 100 feet in the air when they experienced a mechanical issue. The helicopter pilot attempted to make it back to the heliport but experienced an emergency landing on airport property just short of the helipad.

The helicopter had one pilot and one tactical flight officer on board. Both were evaluated by the Fort Worth Fire Department for minor injuries and were transported to a local hospital as a precaution.

We are working with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and they are investigating this incident.  

On March 2, 2026, at approximately 4:38 p.m., Fort Worth Police officers were dispatched to a hit-and-run accident in the eastbound lanes of I30 near Horne Street.

The caller advised his vehicle was struck by another vehicle, and he was following the suspect vehicle because it failed to stop after the accident.

Officers eventually located the suspect vehicle near Camp Bowie Blvd and attempted to initiate a traffic stop. The driver failed to yield, and a brief pursuit ensued eastbound on Camp Bowie Boulevard.

It is believed the suspect struck a curb at the 3700 block of Camp Bowie Blvd, lost control of the vehicle, and then crashed into a tree.  

The driver, who was the sole occupant of the vehicle, was pronounced deceased at the scene. There have been no reported injuries to officers or citizens.  

The Fort Worth Police Department Traffic Investigations Unit is investigating, along with the Major Case Unit.

The Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office will positively identify the deceased and determine the cause and manner of death.

Late Friday night, Arlington PD officers responded to a reported shooting at Sausalito Drive, near W. Arkansas Lane and Little Road in Arlington.

Upon arrival, officers located a 14-year-old male who had sustained a gunshot wound. Despite emergency response efforts, he was pronounced deceased at the scene.

A preliminary investigation indicates the victim and several other juveniles gained access to the firearm while inside the residence. Evidence suggests the juveniles were handling the weapon and pointing it at one another when it was discharged, striking the victim.

The juvenile who fired the weapon was taken into custody and charged with Manslaughter. He was transported to the Tarrant County Juvenile Detention Center.

The investigation remains ongoing, including efforts to determine how the weapon was accessed.
