A Denton County man was arrested after a Thursday morning shootout with sheriff's officers at a mobile home park near Sanger. No one was shot in the gunbattle.

Ronnie Lee Nash, 31, was treated at a hospital for a knife wound to his arm that appeared to be self-inflicted. He was taken to the Denton County Jail, where he was charged with attempted capital murder and two counts of assault.

A woman called authorities about 8 a.m. from the mobile park in the 900 block of Doc Holiday Road, sheriff's spokesman Tom Reedy said. She said her son had assaulted her and was beating his girlfriend. She said he had a gun.

As two sheriff's officers were talking to the suspect outside a trailer, he pulled out a .38-caliber pistol and fired at one of them, authorities said. He ducked into the trailer as the officer returned fire.

"He went in and out several times, shooting, until he ran out of ammunition," Mr. Reedy said. "Then he threw the gun down and put up his hands."

Mr. Nash's 35-year-old girlfriend was treated at another hospital for severe facial injuries suffered in the beating, Mr. Reedy said.

Dallas police have located the shooter of a 57-year-old man found dead near the south Central Expressway service road last week, and investigators say the shooting may have been an act of self-defense.

A grand jury will decide whether to indict Samuel Gilmore, 48, of Dallas in the fatal shooting of Joseph Emanuel Rushing in the 2200 block of Stoneman Street, police said.

Mr. Gilmore apparently confronted Mr. Rushing trying to steal items from his back yard, police said. Mr. Rushing then threatened Mr. Gilmore with a hammer, Mr. Gilmore told police.

Mr. Gilmore then shot Mr. Rushing, who was pronounced dead at Baylor University Medical Center at Dallas a short time later, police said.

The Dallas Housing Authority board of commissioners plans to create a separate new waiting list for special rental assistance vouchers that can only be used by low-income black residents who move to predominately white neighborhoods.

The DHA, whose board of commissioners gave approval for the new list Wednesday, is not yet accepting applications for the housing assistance. Federal approval is needed.

The agency already has 8,000 families on a waiting list for general rental assistance that can be used anywhere. But it cannot find enough qualified families on that list to use the last 500 of 3,205 special rent vouchers from a court settlement designed to desegregate public housing.

Former Dallas City Council member James Fantroy has turned himself in at the Fort Worth federal prison to begin serving a 30-day sentence after his conviction this year on theft charges.

The 70-year-old chose prison time rather than abide by a request from U.S. District Judge Ed Kinkeade that he apologize for stealing more than $20,000 from Paul Quinn College.

After his release next month, Mr. Fantroy, who began his sentence Wednesday, faces six more months of home confinement. That will be followed by two years of probation. He must also pay almost $18,000 in restitution.

Mr. Fantroy wrote checks to himself, his family and his campaign using an account of the Paul Quinn College community development corporation, which he served as treasurer. His attorney told jurors that Mr. Fantroy took the money because he was broke.

Mr. Fantroy, who showed up for trial in a wheelchair, has inoperable kidney cancer and must get dialysis several times a week. His attorney said he would have to get those treatments outside the prison.

An arrest has been made in an apartment complex shooting that injured two men and two teenage girls, Dallas police said Thursday.

They identified the person arrested as Douglas Tremain Bailey, 24.

The shooting occurred in a courtyard about 1 a.m. in the 8300 block of Skillman Street near Royal Lane, Dallas police Lt. Sally Lannom said.

Police said Johnny Harris, 25, was shot after he got into an argument with Mr. Bailey over a girlfriend. He was in critical condition late Thursday at Baylor Medical Center at Dallas.

Three others who were shot were most likely innocent bystanders, Lt. Lannom said.

Alanie Tolliver, 16, was standing in the parking lot when shots rang out. She was hit in the leg and has been treated and released, Lt. Lannom said. Shafadra Tolliver, 14, was shot in the leg and the abdomen and is in critical condition. According to police, the Tolliver girls said they were not related.

William Hubbard, 24, was also in critical condition.
