A Tarrant County grand jury has indicted a Forest Hill police officer for murder.
Logan Barr was arrested for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon last July in connection with the shooting death of Michael Ross, 32, the month prior.

Barr and other Forest Hill officers found Ross in a creek at the bottom of an embankment near the QuikTrip on Wichita St. after he had stabbed a woman to death.
Ross was holding a knife and had refused officers' orders to drop it.
The investigation showed that although a sergeant asked Barr to fire his less-than-lethal shotgun at Ross to get him to drop the knife, Barr fired off his actual shotgun instead, killing him.
Barr now faces five to 99 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000.
It's unclear whether Barr is still with the force.
