Off-duty Tarrant County Sheriff’s Deputy<br />
Brent Brown shot in East Fort Worth.<br />
TARRANT COUNTY, TX. - Tarrant<br />
County Sheriff’s Office deputy<br />
Brent Brown was shot Monday<br />
while working off-duty as a security<br />
guard at the Fort Worth Community<br />
Credit Union on Brentwood<br />
Stair Road.<br />
“It hits close to home when an<br />
officer is violently injured like this,<br />
so we ask for prayers from the<br />
public,” said Fort Worth Police<br />
Chief Neil <strong>No</strong>akes.<br />
The shooting happened <strong>No</strong>v.<br />
27 just before 4 p.m. and within<br />
minutes of officers arriving, they<br />
found the glass of the front door<br />
of the business shattered by bullets.<br />
MedStar emergency response<br />
workers also arrived, and discovered<br />
Brown suffering from<br />
a gunshot wound to his lower<br />
58 The <strong>Blues</strong> 40th Anniversary Issue<br />
abdomen and another in his upper<br />
chest. They took him to JPS hospital,<br />
where he underwent surgery.<br />
Police later told CBS News Texas<br />
that Brown is expected to make a<br />
full recovery.<br />
Fort Worth police confirmed<br />
that Leland Williams, 35, was<br />
arrested in connection to the<br />
shooting. He was booked into the<br />
Tarrant County Jail on a capital<br />
murder charge.<br />
A man whose wife is a teller at<br />
the credit union told CBS News<br />
Texas reporter Jason Allen that<br />
she witnessed the shooting.<br />
“Brent stood his ground, did his<br />
duty, and the nobility of what he<br />
did today is what law enforcement<br />
expects out of all of our<br />
officers. But he did it well, and he<br />
rose to the nobility with courage<br />
and distinction,” shared Sheriff<br />
Bill Waybourn. “Evil walks boldly<br />
among us and we must not forget<br />
that.”<br />
While Brown’s brothers in blue<br />
showed their support at the hospital<br />
Monday night, others took<br />
to social media to express their<br />
thoughts about the shooting.<br />
Tarrant County Judge Tim O’Hare<br />
took to X, stating: “Please join me<br />
in praying for one of our Tarrant<br />
County Sheriff’s Deputies. He was<br />
shot twice today while working<br />
security off-duty. He is currently<br />
in surgery.”<br />
Brown has served with the sheriff’s<br />
office since 2011. He’s currently<br />
assigned to the warrant division.<br />
Williams’ bond is currently set<br />
at $1 million.
