Man shot in arm, hand following dispute with vehicle in south Fort Worth, police say
A group of three men exchanged words with people inside a passing vehicle in south Fort Worth on Thursday night when one of the occupants opened fire, striking a man in the arm and hand, police said.
The man was taken to a hospital with injuries that weren’t life-threatening.
The incident was reported around 9:30 p.m. Thursday at the intersection of East Butler and Cole streets, by Echo Lake Park and the railroad tracks, according to a police call log. The three men were hanging out by the tracks, police said.
The men told police that a vehicle drove by and they “had words with occupants,” according to Capt. Katherine Schrader, a police spokesperson. Someone inside the vehicle fired three shots, Shrader said in an email.
Police didn’t have an update to provide Friday morning.
