SOUTHLAKE (CBSDFW.COM) - Southlake Police have arrested a North Texas man after investigators said he chased down his wife in the middle of a busy retail area and shot her from the street.
Chief James Brandon said the suspect's wife was driving a black jeep and stopped at the light near a Jared, Galleria of Jewelry store near Central Avenue and East Southlake Boulevard. Brandon said the suspect caught up to his wife, got out of his Ford pick-up truck and started shooting.
"That's the ultimate tragedy sometimes when we see at the end of these things," said Chief Brandon.
Police believe the couple was in the middle of a dispute but did not specify why the couple was fighting.
"It's shocking in any regards. It doesn't matter if it's Southlake, Fort Worth or Dallas," said Chief Brandon.
Witnesses said they heard multiple gunshots. None of the bullets fired hit anyone else in the area.
"We're thankful in the end that the aggressor didn't mean harm to a larger group of people," said Chief Brandon. "Officers were here within a couple of minutes and got him into custody, but that's something we're always concerned about."
The names of those involved were not released.
Police are working to figure out what happened just prior to the shooting.
