Peyton Cole Barbour

Male, White

Date of the incident: 12/25/2013

Grand Prairie, Tarrant, TX
600 E Seeton Road

Barbour, a white high school sophomore, was parked in a stolen car early Christmas morning when police attempted to question him. He sped away and after a short chase, ditched the car and fled on foot, firing shots at the officer from a 9 mm Glock stolen in a residential burglary. The officer returned fire. No one was hit. Later that afternoon, police cornered Barbour and pleaded with him to give up. He refused, shooting at and injuring two officers. Police then shot and killed Barbour. The injured police recovered and a grand jury declined to indict the officers involved in the shooting.
