A robbery suspect who attempted to take the officer's gun is shot and wounded by Fort Worth Police
Fort Worth police released body camera footage Friday that shows more details from when an officer shot a robbery suspect earlier this month.
The shooting happened on Jan. 7 in the 3200 block of Fargo Court. Fort Worth police said officers responded around 4 a.m. that day to a robbery at a 24-hour vape shop in the 6400 block of McCart Avenue near Altamesa Boulevard.
Store surveillance cameras recorded a suspect, later identified as Walker Cadd, 37, entering the store armed with a crowbar, according to police, and a store employee called 911 for help.
Fort Worth police said officers arrived at the scene minutes after the call. When they found Cadd, he allegedly took off into an open field behind the shopping center. Cadd was then found hiding in the backyard of a home in the 3200 block of Fargo Court, according to police.
Police say an officer drew a weapon and ordered Cadd to show his hands, but Cadd didn't comply, saying "No" several times.
Police say Cadd stood up and walked toward the officer, and, at one point, when Cadd was within arm's reach of the officer, the officer pushed him back, and Cadd exited the shed. The officer reached for Cadd; Cadd turned toward the officer, and reached toward his gun, and, at that point, the officer fired two shots from his pistol, with one shot hitting Cadd in the leg, according to police.
Police said the officers at the scene provided first aid to the suspect before he was taken to a hospital for treatment and released. Cadd was booked into the Tarrant County Jail on complaints of theft and attempting to take a weapon from an officer, jail records show.
No one inside the vape shop was injured, nor were any of the officers involved.
