Rollover Crash Injures Kids, Police Shooting, Job Openings, Tire Recycling, and Community Empowerment in Fort Worth

  • Résumé

  • Good morning, this is Fort Worth Local Pulse for Tuesday, February 11, 2025.

    We start with breaking news from Parker County, where a rollover accident on Earp Road has injured multiple children in Springtown, northwest of Fort Worth. The Parker County Sheriff's Office confirmed children were among those involved in the crash that occurred around 4:30 p.m. yesterday, but details on the number of minors involved are still pending. At least two air ambulances were dispatched to the scene, and we will provide updates as more information becomes available.

    In other news, Fort Worth police have released body camera footage of an officer shooting and killing an armed man after multiple chases and a four-hour standoff. This incident marks the fourth Fort Worth police shooting of 2025, a number that Police Chief Neil Noakes described as "extremely concerning" compared to four police shootings in all of 2024. The incident began with a traffic stop in Lake Worth and escalated into a standoff at a residence in the 1700 block of Skyline Drive in Fort Worth.

    On a different note, if you're looking for a new job, there are over 140 positions available in Fort Worth, ranging from program associates to medication technicians. Vandergriff Toyota is also hosting a hiring event today and tomorrow, offering $3000 monthly paid training and potential commissions of up to $100,000.

    In city news, Fort Worth is rethinking waste to resources through tire recycling, thanks to a local company's innovative approach. Additionally, the city is addressing the rise in telecommunications wire theft, which has been a costly issue nationwide.

    Looking ahead to community events, the Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo is ongoing, offering livestock and horse shows, exhibits, live music, and a carnival midway. On March 1, you can learn about optimizing your landscaping for greater water efficiency. And for those interested in adopting a new pet, adoption fees are waived at local shelters.

    In education, the Academy of Visual and Performing Arts, a tuition-free public charter school, is seeking special education teachers.

    On the crime front, we urge residents to be vigilant due to the recent rise in wire theft. The Fort Worth Police Department is working to address this issue and other public safety concerns.

    Finally, a feel-good story: local residents are coming together to promote healthy neighborhoods through community empowerment and action with the Code Rangers program.

    This has been Fort Worth Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
