In a distressing incident earlier today, local authorities responded to a shooting at the Salene Apartments located on 9041 Brian Way Circle in west Fort Worth. At approximately 9:04 am, gunfire erupted, causing panic and injuring a sleeping child.
According to officials, an unidentified assailant discharged a firearm outside the apartment complex. The bullet penetrated the wall of a bedroom, narrowly grazing a child as she peacefully slept. The quick response from Fort Worth police ensured that the child received immediate medical attention.
Paramedics were promptly dispatched to the scene and provided on-site treatment to the child, whose injuries were deemed minor. Although shaken, the young victim did not require transportation to a hospital and was able to remain with her family.
Gun Violence detectives have assumed control of the investigation.
Incidents such as these serve as a somber reminder of the devastating impact gun violence can have on innocent lives. Law enforcement agencies and community leaders continue to work together to address this issue and promote measures aimed at reducing gun-related incidents.
