On January 9, 2026, at approximately 8 pm, officers responded to the 1400 block of N Highway 67 regarding a major disturbance involving two vehicles. The caller reported that someone had shot at his vehicle and provided a description of the vehicle.

Officers arrived on scene and located the suspect vehicle stopped on the shoulder of the highway. While conducting a high-risk stop on the car, a female exited the passenger side and was shot by the driver. The male driver exited the vehicle with a firearm. Two officers fired their weapons, striking the male.

Officers rendered aid to both subjects until paramedics arrived. EMS transported the male to a local hospital, where he later died from his injuries. The female was pronounced deceased on the scene.

The Texas Rangers are leading the investigation into the incident. In accordance with department policy, following a critical incident, the involved officers have been placed on administrative leave.

The Arlington Police Department is investigating a deadly shooting that occurred along westbound I-20 near Bowman Springs Road which resulted in the death of an adult female and injuries to an adult male.

On Wednesday, November 12, 2025, at approximately 7:40 p.m., officers responded to a gas station in the 4900 block of Little Road after a 911 caller reported he had been shot. When officers arrived, they located an adult male with an apparent gunshot wound inside his vehicle. Officers also located an adult female who had been shot and who was unresponsive. The female was transported to a local hospital, where she was pronounced deceased.

Two children who were also inside the vehicle at the time of the shooting were transported to Medical City Arlington to be evaluated as a precaution.

The adult male driver was transported to a local hospital to be treated for his injuries.

During the initial response, officers also learned that a second vehicle traveling in the area had been struck by gunfire. None of the occupants in that vehicle were injured.

Based on preliminary information, investigators believe the deceased woman may have been pregnant at the time of her death, and that the victims were traveling westbound on I-20 near Bowman Springs Road when their vehicle was struck by gunfire. After the shooting, the driver drove to a nearby gas station to call police.

This remains an active and ongoing investigation. Detectives are following up on available leads and working to determine the circumstances surrounding the shooting. No arrests have been made.

The Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office will release the identity of the deceased once next of kin have been notified.

Original Release

At approximately 5:00 PM, TRWD Communications received a call reporting two children floating in the water and screaming for help. A nearby boater rescued the children and reported the incident. TRWD LED units responded, secured the children, and initiated an investigation. It was determined that the children had been on the lake in a small watercraft with their father. The father, a 50 year old male, has not been located and is currently considered missing.

TRWD Police Officers are searching for the missing man with assistance from Texas Parks and Wildlife, Fort Worth Police Department and Eagle Mountain Fire Department.

On July 4th, at approximately 10:37pm, 10-12 individuals dressed in all black, “military styled” clothing began shooting fireworks and committing acts of vandalism at the Prairieland Detention Facility in Alvarado, Texas.

Around that same time, the Alvarado Police Department was dispatched to the 1200 block of Sunflower Lane in reference to a suspicious person. Officers responded to the area and observed a suspicious person that appeared to be carrying a firearm.  As the first responding officer attempted to engage the person, multiple suspects opened fire on the officer, striking him in the neck. The officer was flown to Harris Methodist Hospital Ft. Worth, was treated, and released.   

The suspects attempted to flee the scene. Officers from the Alvarado Police Department, the Johnson County Sheriff’s Office, and neighboring agencies took several armed suspects into custody.

Acting U.S. Attorney Nancy Larson says this was part of a planned, organized ambush with an intent to kill ICE officers.

“My office has charged 10 individuals with three counts of Attempted Murder of a Federal Officer. They have also been charged with three counts of Discharging a Firearm in Relation to a Crime of Violence. Each faces a mandatory prison term of 10 years up to life in prison.”

The attackers used the vandalism in an attempt to draw ICE officers outside of the facility. One of the assailants shot 20-30 rounds at two unarmed corrections officers who went outside to investigate the group. It was around this time that the Alvarado officer was hurt.

Officers located an AR-style rifle at the scene. Other firearms and ballistic vests were recovered from the vehicle stopped by Johnson County law enforcement. Some of the individuals had body armor and two-way radios on them.

A total of 12 sets of body armor were found. Masks, goggles, and tactical gloves were also found.

“Due to the rapid response of local law enforcement, these individuals were quickly apprehended. It was an egregious attack on law enforcement officers,” says Larson.

At approximately 4:26 p.m. on May 10th, the Grand Prairie Public Safety Dive Team responded to a report of two possible drownings at Joe Pool Lake.

Witnesses reported that two males fell off a boat without life vests, and did not resurface.

The Grand Prairie Public Safety Dive Team initiated a search until dark and resumed operations this
morning.

The team recovered the two adult male victims. The identity of the deceased will be released by the Dallas County Medical Examiner’s Office.

“As the lake season begins, GPFD strongly encourages the public to wear a life vest or an appropriate personal flotation device while near or in the water.”
