Armed man shot dead in Arlington; shooter may have fired in self-defense, police say
A 22-year-old man was on Wednesday morning shot to death in Arlington after he pointed a handgun at a person during an argument, authorities said.
The shooter may have fired at Andrew Reed in self-defense, Arlington police said, and detectives did not arrest the shooter on suspicion of a crime.
The Tarrant County Criminal District Attorney’s Office will likely ask a grand jury to consider the case.
Reed died at a hospital after he was shot in the 700 block of Buckskin Trail, near Vandergriff Park, according to the the Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office.
Reed was shot about 10:45 a.m. and police found him lying on the ground with multiple gunshot wounds.
Reed was involved in a verbal quarrel with three other people before he was shot, police said. It appeared to police that everyone involved knew each other.
The shooter, whose name and age police did not release, left the scene before officers arrived.
