FORT WORTH, Texas — A person was shot after a confrontation early Wednesday at a home in the 800 block of East Jessamine Street.

A person arrived at the home shortly before 7 a.m. in a stolen vehicle that was being tracked by its owner, who wasn’t at the home.

“A confrontation ensued between the suspect, who was inside the residence, and the victim who entered the residence, culminating in the suspect discharging a firearm multiple times, striking the victim,” police said in a news release. “The victim exited the residence and a third party witness contacted police.”

Police say the person who was shot was taken to a hospital in stable condition, and they’re still looking for a suspect.

Police initially said a person who had their Ford truck stolen elsewhere pinged the truck to the area and that they believed the person who was shot could have been the "actor" in the stolen vehicle incident. 

This is a developing story. WFAA will update this story as additional information becomes available.
