Two juveniles were arrested after several people shot at each other at a Fort Worth apartment complex on Tuesday, according to the Fort Worth Police Department. A third suspect is barricaded, police say.

Dozens of police units responded to the Cambridge Court Apartments, in the 8100 block of Calmont Avenue, shortly after 1 p.m. Tuesday for a call about a domestic disturbance.

The initial caller reported that a man and a woman were in domestic dispute and at least one gunshot was heard, according to the call log.

“During what may have been a domestic disturbance, several people exchanged gunfire across the apartments creating two crime scene locations,” police told the Star-Telegram.

During the altercation, a maintenance man was shot at and returned fire, according to police. One person had minor injuries due to an assault, according to a spokesperson from MedStar, but no one has been seriously injured. It is unknown if the maintenance man is the individual with minor injuries.

Two juveniles are in custody, and a third suspect is believed to be barricaded inside a unit at the apartment complex with his girlfriend, according to police.

This is an ongoing investigation.
