FORT WORTH, Texas — An argument at a Fort Worth horse stable led to a shooting that ended with an 88-year-old woman getting hit by a stray bullet, police said.
The woman was wounded on her hand but is expected to be OK, according to a police news release.
The incident happened around 9:20 p.m. Monday in northwest Fort Worth. Police had responded to the Marine Park Apartments in the 3100 block of Northwest 33rd Street, where a woman had been shot.
Officers and paramedics arrived and found the victim, an 88-year-old woman, who had been shot in the hand.
