Fort Worth Hit & Run Turns into Shootout

The incident happened at around 12:30 p.m., Tuesday, outside a Dick’s Sporting Goods at Alliance Town Center. Fort Worth Police say it started as a hit-and-run accident at a nearby Olive Garden restaurant. The person’s vehicle that was hit began to follow the person who struck their vehicle. The two vehicles stopped at the sporting goods store, where the first vehicle appeared to become disabled.

The driver who left the scene of a hit-and-run, then got out of his car with a handgun and approached the driver of the vehicle following him. That’s when gunfire erupted and the man who first pulled a handgun was shot. A woman working at the adjacent Great Harvest Bread Company says they heard gun shots in the restaurant and looked outside to see a man lying on the ground. She says store employees locked the doors and moved customers into a back hallway for protection.

Fort Worth Police say the victim was transported to a local hospital, where he later died. Police are still investigating the shooting and have not made an arrest in the case.
