Two men are dead after two separate officer-involved shootings in East Fort Worth on Saturday. Police say the first happened around midnight on Wiman Drive. They said that investigation led them to nearby Miller Street, where the second incident began. Carolyn Green lives on the 4200 block of Wiman Drive. “I heard some shooting. Like running, shooting up in the air,” Green said. She got a snack from her kitchen and left, then heard more gunfire. “I heard this loud boom. Like it was in my house,” she said. A bullet had pierced through her home and through her microwave. “If I had been there five minutes later, it would’ve hit me because I was standing right in front of there, cutting that mango up,” Green said. She looked out her window and saw a body in her front yard. “There was just blood everywhere,” she said. Green said she also saw young people running. “There was just droves of kids running up and down the streets like they always do. In bunches, you know. Parking everywhere,” she said. She and other neighbors say it happens frequently: large parties at one home on the next street over, but spilling over onto their street. “I feel violated,” Green said. Fort Worth Police said they initially responded to several reports of shots fired around midnight. “They found a party that was going on in the area and then heard more shots that were being fired,” said Police Chief Eddie Garcia. Garcia said a man approached officers with a gun. “At one point, the individual pointed the handgun at our officers, did not follow directions or orders to drop the handgun,” explained Garcia in a news conference posted to the department’s social media platforms. He said at least one officer shot the suspect who died at the scene. “It’s scary, you know. It’s unreal. It’s unreal,” said Green, who’s lived in the same home for nearly 50 years. She said she’s never experienced something like this before. “They’re young kids, they should have their butts at home that time of night,” Green said. “I’m tired of it.” She said she’s part of her neighborhood association, and they’ve been begging for an increased police presence. “I’m tired. I’ve been living here 48, at least 48 years in this one house. I’m working hard to clean up my neighborhood,” she said. Green said that although she’s grateful for her life, it’s not the type of life she wants. “I can be poor without living poor, you know what I mean? And I’m tired of all this trash coming in my neighborhood, taking over where I live, where I’ve lived all my life,” she said. ...read more read less
