ARLINGTON, Texas — Two teenagers are dead and one was hurt after a disturbance that led to a shooting at an apartment complex Friday afternoon, the Arlington Police Department said.
Just before 1:40 p.m., Arlington police said officers responded to a reported shooting at an apartment in the 6000 block of Clearwater Drive. When officers got there, police said they found two teenage boys with gunshot wounds.
Police said both teens – one who was 13 years old and another who was around 16 – were taken to a local hospital, where they were both later pronounced dead.
Lt. Chris Cook with the Arlington Police Department said a gun was found near their bodies.
Police said officers also learned a third teenage boy had been shot and left the scene in a car. Officers found him after a traffic stop, where they discovered his wounds and took him to a local hospital. Cook said he is critical and in surgery.
Meanwhile, police said two other people ran away from the scene, and their location is unknown. Cook said a second gun was found near where they had been.
Police say the incident may have started as a disturbance at a nearby business that spilled over into the apartment complex, however, a motive is unknown.
The investigation is ongoing.
