What began as a burglary call in North Fort Worth resulted in a confusing sequence of events where two civilians stepped in to stop two teenage suspects before responding officers could act. Police department spokesman Maj. Paul Henderson said officers responded to a burglary call Thursday afternoon. A civilian on a "ride along," a man in his 20s police said, jumped out to chase the suspects before the officers could. Then seconds later, a neighbor thinking police might be in trouble grabbed his own gun and opened fire on the suspects in their 2005 gray Ford Focus, striking both of them.
