ARLINGTON, Texas — Police lights filled the 1700 block of Martin Luther Drive Monday night in Arlington after a false 911 call sent SWAT officers rushing into a neighborhood unaccustomed to that kind of chaos.

“It was insane. It’s something that’s straight out of a movie. I mean, it’s—this isn’t the neighborhood where we see things like that," John Cruz said.

He and other neighbors watched as officers in tactical gear surrounded a home after a caller told dispatchers they had shot two people inside that address.

“Five to 10 minutes before they showed up, I was out here smoking a cigarette," said Marvis L. He told WFAA that officers began asking him questions as they secured the block.

“They asked me, did he have any kids, young kids there? I said, ‘No, he stay by himself," said Marivs.
