Terrifying road rage, ATM smash-and-grab, transparency push, and more - Fort Worth Local Pulse update
from Fort Worth Local Pulse · host Inception Point AI
Good morning, this is Fort Worth Local Pulse for Saturday, January 3rd. We kick off with breaking news from our roads. Fort Worth police are investigating a terrifying road rage shooting on Interstate 35 south near Berry Street and Seminary Drive exits. FOX 4 reports a driver and his 17-year-old son heading to a soccer tournament had shots fired at their car from a black Nissan Sentra after a lane change. No injuries, but they want your tips if you saw it around 1 a.m. after Thanksgiving. Stay vigilant out there, listeners. Shifting to public safety, White Settlement police near us recovered a stolen SUV used in a Christmas Eve ATM smash-and-grab at a convenience store on South Cherry Lane. Two suspects fled, and similar hits happened nearby recently. Drive safe today. Over at City Hall, Chief Transformation Officer Christianne Simmons is pushing a big transparency push through FWLab. They are rolling out public dashboards on police response times, budgets, and even athletic field usage, so we can all see how our tax dollars work in real time. Attend a budget meeting to speak directly to the chiefs. In sports, what a night at Amon G. Carter Stadium. Texas State crushed Rice 41 to 10 in the Armed Forces Bowl, with Brad Jackson throwing for 173 yards and four total touchdowns. Our local bowl energy is buzzing. Job market shows movement, as NLRB filings note a union push at a Starbucks in our region, seeking to organize about 20 baristas and shift supervisors. Keep an eye on that for shifts in retail work. Real estate heats up too. Analysts say Fort Worth ranks among the hottest markets in 2026, with buyers gaining a slight edge as things balance out, though inventory stays tight. Weather today brings mild temps in the upper 50s under partly cloudy skies, perfect for weekend errands, but bundle up for that north wind near 15 miles per hour. No big impacts, outlook stays dry through Monday. Community events ahead include budget transparency sessions at City Hall next week. Local schools report strong holiday tournament showings, with North Crowley High hoops going 3 and 1. And a feel-good note, volunteers at the Fort Worth Stockyards just wrapped a toy drive feeding over 500 families, proving our spirit shines bright. Thanks for tuning in, listeners, and remember to subscribe for daily updates. This has been Fort Worth Local Pulse. Well see you tomorrow with more local updates.
