Fort Worth SWAT, Teens Involved in Gun Store Standoff

After a brief standoff, police said they arrested two teenagers who broke into a Fort Worth gun store early Wednesday morning.

Fort Worth Police Department officials said the two teens climbed up the roof and entered the Noble Gun Store in the 2900 block of Cravens Road through a vent at 12:15 a.m.

Officers were alerted within minutes as the teens tripped the silent alarm, police said. The Fort Worth SWAT team joined police at the gun store in case the teens were armed.
