Texas armed suspect allegedly barricaded inside burning home, 1 police officer injured

A fire is burning inside a Tarrant County home where there’s allegedly an armed suspect.

The Tarrant County Sheriff’s Office told FOX 4 that officers are handling a fire as well as a barricaded suspect at the same location in Fort Worth, Texas on Thursday, but didn’t provide any further details. 

Pictures from the FOX 4 helicopter show black smoke coming from what appears to be a trailer and burning vehicles.

According to CBS DFW, one officer has sustained injuries that are considered life-threatening after the suspect began firing at law enforcement.

During the standoff, the suspect placed “incendiary devices” on the house’s front porch and began the fire.

The law enforcement officers were originally at the home to arrest a suspect in relation to a felony warrant.

Officers with the sheriff’s department and fire department are on the scene.
