Man shot brother, before fleeing in car with 2 kids inside, Fort Worth police say
FORT WORTH, Texas - Fort Worth police said a man shot his brother Sunday morning and left the scene in a vehicle that had his two small children inside.
The shooting happened just after 10 a.m. in the 400 block of Millbrook Lane.
Responding officers found a man with a gunshot wound. He was treated by first responders.
Investigators identified the shooter as 27-year-old Zjvon Packer, the victim's brother.
Police put out the vehicle’s description, and a police sergeant reported he was behind the suspect’s vehicle near FM 1187.
The suspect didn’t stop for police and continued into Burleson.
The chase ended when the suspect pulled into a church near John Jones and W. County Road 714.
"It wasn't closer until the very end when the children started moving around as the vehicle started slowing down that we noticed two kids inside the vehicle and that just changed everything," said Buddy Calzada, a spokesman for the Fort Worth Police Department.
