LEWISVILLE, Texas — A woman was killed in a shooting that briefly closed Lakeway Drive in Lewisville Thursday, police said.
Police responded to a call about an active shooter in the 1800 block of Lakeway Drive and detained the shooter, later identified by police as Travis Merrill, 51, shortly before 11:30 a.m., the department said in a social media post.
The Lewisville Fire Department took the woman to a local hospital, who later died, the department said. The woman will be identified by the Tarrant County Medical Examiner's Office.
