Two people were injured in a shooting Tuesday morning near the Historic Southside neighborhood, and a SWAT team is searching for the suspect, who is still at large, Fort Worth police said.

Officers responded to the 1900 block of E. Vickery Boulevard around 4:45 a.m. after someone reported a man and a woman had been shot at that location, according to the 911 call sheet. They found two people with gunshot wounds, police said.

The shooting took place in the area of a campsite where people experiencing homelessness live. Police said they think the shooting resulted from “a disturbance of unknown origin” between several of the people there.

A man was taken to a local hospital with serious injuries, according to MedStar. A woman received minor injuries and was treated at the scene.

Law enforcement officers, including members of a SWAT team, were actively looking for the shooting suspect. According to police, the suspect may be hiding or barricaded in a building nearby. A SWAT team was still in the area as of about 10:30 a.m.
