Frisco police responded to reports of shots fired in the parking lot of the Frisco Square Cinemark at 5655 Frisco Square Boulevard at about 8:09 p.m. on December 21. Officers arrived to witness accounts of vehicles departing the scene, and a bystander who followed one of the cars provided a description that helped guide the initial response.

Officers located one of the vehicles near the intersection of Stonebrook Parkway and Dallas Parkway. That vehicle failed to yield, prompting officers to engage in a slow speed pursuit. Law enforcement units, with assistance from the Texas Department of Public Safety, disabled the vehicle and took the driver into custody. Marijuana was seized from that vehicle during the subsequent investigation.

A second person believed to be connected to the same incident fled after a hit and run crash. That individual was later located, transported to a hospital for treatment of minor injuries, and released into the custody of the Frisco Police Department. Investigators reported that no injuries from the reported shooting were confirmed, and that evidence to date indicates the incident was isolated.

The incident interrupted traffic in the Dallas Parkway corridor during an evening when retail and entertainment venues were busy for holiday activities. Frisco police established a presence in the area while processing the scene and conducting follow up interviews. For residents and visitors, the quick apprehension of two suspects underscores the value of witness cooperation and interagency coordination, while also highlighting the community need for vigilance in crowded public spaces.

Frisco police asked anyone with information about the incident to contact the department or to submit an anonymous tip. The department did not release additional details about charges or the identities of the individuals taken into custody as the investigation continued.
