The incident occurred around 3:30 p.m. when a homeowner returned to his property and found another man there. An argument ensued, which escalated to gunfire, leaving the homeowner wounded and the other man, identified as Darius Levy, 29, dead. Police indicated that Levy was not supposed to be present on the property due to an active court order of protection, which he apparently violated. The authorities did not specify whom the protective order was intended to protect or whether charges will be filed. The incident highlights the perilous consequences of <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >verbal disputes turning violent<\/a> and the importance of adhering to protective orders.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>A Texas shootout left one man, whom police say violated an order of protection, dead.<\/p>\n<p>The Saturday incident in Fort Worth took place at about 3:30 p.m., police said, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wfaa.com\/article\/news\/local\/tarrant-county\/man-killed-another-injured-shooting-fort-worth-home-police\/287-5395b370-8f1f-43ae-af71-40037be4f428\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WFAA-TV<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Police said a man who owned the home returned to his house and saw another man on the property.<\/p>\n<p>At first, the two exchanged angry words, police said.<\/p>\n<p>The argument eventually escalated to gunfire.<\/p>\n<p>The homeowner was wounded and taken to a hospital, police said.
