Fort Worth police say two officers were shot while responding to a shooting call at a home Friday evening. One officer is in critical condition, and the other has minor injuries, the department says.

The call came in at about 8:30 from a home on the 3800 block of Wharton Drive.

Police spokesman Officer Marc Povero said the arriving officers found a person in a back bedroom unresponsive from a gunshot wound. They were informed that a witness to the shooting was located in a shed in the backyard, so they went to make contact with that person.

One officer was struck several times in the upper body and was rushed from the scene in critical condition. The other officer was hit once in the chest, but was protected by his ballistic vest and only has minor injuries, Povero said. ...MedStar ambulance service said neither of the officers had life-threatening injuries.

:sigh: Journalism is dead.

I agree, I hope the officer makes it.

Thanks so much for letting us know.
Prayers for them.
So sad.

This is an odd sentence from the article.

“The officers managed to return fire into the shed, and the condition of the person inside is unknown.”

Another attack on our police in the War on Cops.

Chief Fitzgerald just had a presser to update. One officer out of surgery, the other still in. This was as of 8 minutes ago

WFAA is reporting the below:

“Azucena was shot multiple times in the upper torso and extremities. He was in critical condition at John Peter Smith Hospital, but came out of surgery late Friday night and is expected to recover.

“Serrano was struck once in his bullet-proof vest. He was alert and talking to officers after the shooting, police say, and was also taken to JPS.”
