A North Texas man was recently arrested for allegedly firing a gun after he said another man looked at him the wrong way during a football game in which the Dallas Cowboys tied 40-40 with the Green Bay Packers on Sunday.

David Callum, 53, stands accused of two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and one count of carrying a weapon where prohibited, according to the North Richland Hills Police Department.

The charges stem from an incident at The Thirsty Turtle, a sports bar and grill on Rufe Snow Drive in North Richland Hills – a medium-sized city and suburb in the sprawling Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.

On Sunday, just after 10 p.m., officers were called in response to multiple shots fired, police said in an initial press release.

“Within just minutes of the call coming into dispatch, officers were on the scene and found that several patrons had secured the alleged shooter,” the police department said on Monday.

No one was injured in the shooting, police added.

Callum was briefly detained in the North Richland Hills Joint Detention Center while his charges were pending. On Tuesday morning, the defendant was brought before a judge, formally charged, and transferred to the Tarrant County Jail in downtown Fort Worth.

North Richland Hills authorities elaborated on the case against him in a second press release issued on Tuesday.

“Callum reportedly became agitated when he presumed another patron of the bar was looking at him while watching Sunday night’s game,” the latest press release reads. “An argument then began, at which time Callum produced a gun and fired off a round during the disturbance.”

Notably, the second press release suggests only one shot was fired on the night in question while the first press release suggests multiple shots were fired at the popular strip mall sports bar.

Police also did not say which team Callum was rooting for.

Law&Crime reached out to the North Richland Hills Police Department for additional details on this story but no response was immediately forthcoming at the time of publication.

The charges against Callum have not been formally docketed on the Tarrant County court system as of this writing.
