Fort Worth TRE train shooting injures 1, 1 in custody, officials say

Officers were called to the Fort Worth Central Station at 1001 Jones St. shortly after 11 a.m. to respond to the shooting.

FORT WORTH, Texas — One person was taken into custody after a shooting Thursday on a TRE train in Fort Worth that left another man hospitalized, officials say. 

Officers were called to the Fort Worth Central Station at 1001 Jones St. shortly after 11 a.m. after TRE dispatch reported a “man with a firearm causing a disturbance on a train due to the station within several minutes,” police say.

One man who was found with a gunshot wound to the leg was taken to an area hospital in “stable but potentially life-threatening condition,” police said.

The suspected shooter, who is believed to have fired several shots in the train, was taken into custody and also transported to an area hospital at his request. It’s unclear why the suspected shooter requested to be taken to a hospital. Neither the suspected shooter nor the man who was shot have been identified.

As crews responded to the incident, TRE warned passengers to expect delays and said trains were running only between Trinity Lakes and EBJ Union Stations as of 11:30 a.m.

TRE said a bus shuttle was available to help passengers travel between Trinity Lakes and Fort Worth T&P stations. 

It’s unclear when normal TRE service will resume.

This is a developing story. WFAA will update this story when more information becomes available.
