Wrong-way driver arrested after striking multiple vehicles, shootout with police officer: ‘He’s got a gun!’
A man was arrested in Southlake, Texas Friday morning after allegedly driving down the wrong street, striking vehicles and firing a rifle at multiple people, including a police officer.
Southlake police officers responded to a call around 9:30 a.m. Friday from the 600 block of West Southlake Boulevard about a wrong-way driver.
The driver struck multiple vehicles as he traveled eastbound before crashing in the 1400 block of East Southlake Boulevard, police said in a press release.
As an officer approached the crash scene, the suspect retrieved a rifle from his vehicle and began firing in the direction of the officer and another driver.
