Man wounded after kicking in door of Fort Worth residence in home invasion, police say
A man was shot and wounded early Wednesday after he kicked in the front door of a Fort Worth home in what police say was a possible attempt to steal guns from the residence, police said.
The wounded suspect fled the scene and police continued their search for him Wednesday.
The home invasion occurred just before 1:30 a.m. in the 700 block of Roaring Springs Road.
Witnesses told Fort Worth police that after he entered the home, the suspect began assaulting a woman. Her son shot the suspect in the leg.
The woman who had been assaulted in the home refused medical treatment, police said.
The suspect jumped into a nearby vehicle, possibly accompanied by a woman, and drove to his sister’s home on Bonita Drive, but he fled again once he learned that his sister had called police. His companion was with him, Fort Worth police said.
