Grand Prairie Police Shoot Resident After Responding to Incorrect Address During 911 Call
An investigation is ongoing after Grand Prairie police responded to an incorrect address and discharged their weapons, injuring a resident.
The incident occurred on September 12, around 1:45 a.m., at a residence on the 3000 block of Holly Hill Drive.
Officers were responding to a 911 call about an active disturbance. Due to a miscommunication, the caller’s cellphone provided the wrong address in the dispatch system, causing officers to arrive at a neighboring home instead.
They knocked on the front door for approximately five minutes with no response. Eventually, a resident emerged from the garage, adopted an aggressive stance, and pointed a weapon at the officers.
In response, the officers fired multiple rounds, striking the resident.
The individual was injured in the leg and transported to a nearby hospital, where they received treatment. Their injuries are not life-threatening, and they have since been discharged.
