A man was shot and injured during a gun battle that took place in Fort Worth’s Stop Six neighborhood Friday night, police said.

Participants engaged in “a running gun battle” as they moved south through the neighborhood, according to police. One person was shot and taken to a local hospital for treatment. Officials said his injuries don’t appear to be life-threatening.

Police recovered two guns and detained three suspects, including a registered gang member, in connection with the shooting. The Gang Unit will investigate the incident, officials said.
