FORT WORTH, Texas — One person who was shot late Wednesday night in Fort Worth is expected to survive after a quick-thinking responding officer stepped in to help, police said.
The shooting happened shortly before 11:30 p.m. at the Columbia Apartments on the 5000 block of Overton Ridge Circle.
When officers got on the scene, they found the victim had been shot in a "lower extremity," police said. One of the first officers there applied the tourniquet and a compression bandage to the wound to staunch the bleeding before first responders arrived.
The victim is expected to survive and was taken to a local hospital for further treatment, according to police. They did not release additional information.
