A man was arrested in Southlake, Texas Friday morning after allegedly driving down the wrong street, striking vehicles and firing a rifle at multiple people, including a police officer.

The driver struck multiple vehicles as he traveled eastbound before crashing in the 1400 block of East Southlake Boulevard, police said in a press release. 

As an officer approached the crash scene, the suspect retrieved a rifle from his vehicle and began firing in the direction of the officer and another driver.
