Southlake wrong-way driver arrested after shootout
Southlake police say a 19-year-old driver is in custody after he hit multiple vehicles, got out of his van, then pulled out a rife and started shooting.
Tiffany Perry says she was dropping off her son at the time and described seeing a gold van heading straight for her in the wrong direction.
"I was like ‘Oh my gosh!’ And so I put on my blinker to get over but he ended up getting over," she recalled.
Perry said the driver, who police identified as 19-year-old Sean Wallace Jordan of Colleyville, made a U-turn and started speeding down East Southlake Boulevard. That's when police say he struck several vehicles before crashing his van.
"He was not stopping at the lights. He was going straight through them," Perry recalled. "Probably two minutes later, I heard ambulances, police and fire trucks.
As a Southlake police officer arrived on scene, Jordan allegedly pulled a rifle out of his van and began firing at another driver and the officer.
"One of my construction workers came running inside that shots were being fired outside," recalled Raja Muzaffar, a nearby business owner.
