Domestic violence doesn’t always begin with physical violence. Sometimes it begins with anger, jealousy, controlling behavior, emotional abuse, or an inability to manage conflict in a healthy way.

At the Burleson Police Department, we want our community to understand something important: Help is available for those experiencing abuse, and help is also available for those who recognize harmful or abusive behaviors in themselves.

If you are experiencing domestic abuse:

You deserve to feel safe in your own home and in your relationships. You are not responsible for someone else’s decision to hurt, threaten, or control you. Whether you’re ready to leave, need someone to talk to, or simply want to understand your options, there are people ready to help you.

If you are struggling with anger, controlling behavior, or thoughts of harming someone:

Recognizing that you need help is not a weakness. It’s an opportunity to make a different choice. Seeking professional counseling, mental health support, or a specialized intervention program can help you address harmful behaviors before they escalate.

Mental health challenges do not excuse abuse or violence. Every person is responsible for their actions, and choosing to seek help before hurting someone can change the course of multiple lives.

Domestic violence doesn’t just affect two people. It affects children, families, friends, and entire communities.

As Domestic Violence Awareness Month comes to a close, our message is simple:

If you are being hurt, reach out. If you are afraid you might hurt someone, reach out.

There is strength in asking for help, and there is hope in choosing a different path.

Resources are available:

* National Domestic Violence Hotline: 800-799-SAFE (7233)
* Text START to 88788
* 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline: Call or text 988 for emotional or mental health crisis support
* Burleson Police Department Victim Assistance: Scan the QR code on the accompanying poster for confidential support and resources.

If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call 911.

Healthy relationships should never be built on fear. Help is available. Change is possible. And every life matters.

At approximately 7:45 a.m. Thursday, Oct. 29, Burleson public safety personnel received reports of an armed male in the 700 block of W. Hidden Creek Parkway.

According to preliminary reports, the male was seen outside with a female before forcing her into a vehicle. Initial information indicates the two were estranged spouses.

The male fled the area, traveling southbound on SH 174/Wilshire Boulevard. Burleson police officers initiated a pursuit after the driver failed to comply with officers' attempts to stop the vehicle.

The pursuit continued toward Chisholm Trail Parkway and eventually ended near Bourland Field Airport in Cresson.
Both individuals were found deceased inside the vehicle from apparent gunshot wounds. Preliminary findings indicate the incident was a murder-suicide. No shots were fired by any responding law enforcement agencies.

The Burleson Police Department was assisted by the Johnson County, Parker County and Tarrant County sheriff's offices, Fort Worth Police Department's Air 1 helicopter unit and the Texas Department of Public Safety.

The identities of the deceased are being withheld pending notification of next of kin.

The circumstances surrounding the incident remain under investigation.
