FORT WORTH, TX - Fort Worth police took an individual into custody Friday after gunshots were heard inside a residence during a crisis follow-up call.
On Thursday, February 19, 2026, North Division officers responded to a residence near the 800 block of San Miguel Trail for an investigation call. Upon arrival, officers located an adult experiencing a crisis. The department’s Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) responded to assist.
