"I am grateful for the quick response and actions of our officers today to protect the community and for our other law enforcement partners in the area who provided their assistance with this incident," Casey said.Southlake police identified the man armed with the rifle on Friday afternoon as 19-year-old Sean Wallace Jordan of Colleyville. Southlake police did not provide a motive for the gunfire or share any other details about the case.
John Maxwell said as he happened upon the crash Friday morning he smelled burning rubber and noticed a car facing the wrong direction. Maxwell said he then heard several sounds he thought were fireworks until he noticed people were scattering. Harlan Hill told NBC 5 he was in an Uber on Southlake Boulevard when a gold minivan erratically crossed over the center line and began driving westbound in the eastbound lanes. As traffic came to a stop, the driver of the minivan turned around and drove east.
