Grand Prairie police officers go to wrong address, shoot resident

The shooting happened around 1:45 a.m. on Friday at a home in the 3000 block of Holly Hill Drive, which is in a residential neighborhood near Interstate 20 and S Belt Line Road.
Grand Prairie police officers were responding to a 911 call about an active disturbance. However, the caller’s cellphone populated the wrong address into the dispatch system. So, officers showed up at a neighbor’s house instead.
quote:
Police said the officers knocked on the front door for about five minutes. No one answered, but a resident later came out of the garage, assumed an "aggressive stance," and pointed a gun at the officers.
The officers feared for their lives, so several fired shots at the resident, police said.
The resident was hit in the leg and not seriously hurt. He was treated at the hospital and later released.
I am normally pro police but it looks like this guy got protected and served to another level.
Thomas J Henry probably already has his people working on this one.

You can’t point a firearm at the LE if they are at your front door. That was an extreme move by that dude and he’s lucky.

It would help if those incompetent retards would stop showing up angry at people’s doors in the middle of the night

So the homeowner just happened to be in his garage at 1:45 am and armed? Yeah sounds a little fishy to me.

His neighbor’s car and house are probably not so lucky. Those cops didn’t “just shoot him in the leg” like somebody’s momma might scream, I’m sure. Those other bullets hit stuff behind the target.

I was expecting it to be they stormed the house and sprayed it with bullets.
If they knocked at the door and he came out and threatened them it's FAFO. Had he not acted the fool and talked to him they would have apologized for waking him up.

That's a whole lot of knocking.

If the cops went to the address provided how is this their fault?

I assume the guy was asleep and not exactly expecting the cops so he woke up, armed himself and pointed the gun at the first movement he saw not realizing it was police officers. Police see gun and dont wait to find out what the homeowners intentions are.
Wasn't real clear to me if the police went to the wrong address or if they were provided the wrong address.

Shop gun. You should always have one nearby.
When out on acreage with a barn or workshop, it would be silly to have to go back to the house. It isn't always feasible to have one on you while working, but a shop gun keeps one in the vicinity.
Same for a garage, a shower, a backup gun, a business...always assume the people you meet are armed and the world will be a nicer place.

Did the cops have their blue lights flashing?
Posted on 9/13/25 at 7:29 am to GeauxTigers123
Just think of everything he flushed in those 5 minutes, then he gets shot, it must've been like a nightmare! ??

I mean. There may be a lawsuit because they were at the wrong house, causing bodily damage. But based on this alone...what wrong did the officers do?

“So the homeowner just happened to be in his garage at 1:45 am”
When I get an armadillo in my front or back yard I go out my kitchen door into the garage and sneak around the corner of the house to shoot them.
I don’t want to chance them hearing me open the door.
Not everyone lives in a trailer park.

I know address was wrong and I guess likely to due to address the 911 caller set up in phone, but weren’t they responding to a 911 call? Should they wait for daylight to show up instead of when called?

Why do LE officers pretend like people don't have the right to defend themselves and their homes with firearms? What the frick does anyone expect when they start banging on someone's door in the middle of the night?

It seems like the emergency address the caller set up or verified with WiFi calling (at least for AT&T) was incorrect or maybe neighbor was using this guy’s WiFi. Giving out wrong address would be on the person calling 911 for the emergency if that’s what happened.
I have not really seen the terminology used in the article before, but it reminded me of setting up WiFi calling on my cell phone.

If texting location or sending it thru some emergency process on phone it might have sent location before narrowing it down or best it could. If not specific you would think that would be sent to call center.

I would like to know this as well.
The guy who murdered the senator in Minnesota had lights on car, but most attempts to pretend to be police to enter the home at night don’t have the lights to avoid being noticed or have uniforms.
If multiple uniformed officers with one or more vehicles blue lights flashing I don’t think I am making a surprise quick exit from my garage with my gun drawn and would attempt to communicate first. Probably within the 5 minutes of knocking and additional time before exiting garage I would have called 911 to report issue and hopefully be given confirmation it was actual cops outside.

Don't point a gun at anyone unless you're going to use it.
