HALTOM CITY, Texas - Police in the Fort Worth suburb of Haltom City arrested two people after a 100-mile chase from their city to Van Zandt County, east of Dallas.
The chase happened Sunday after officers answered a call about someone with a gun. They found a 23-year-old woman who had been shot in the abdomen with a shotgun.
