A Swat team and armed officers were deployed on June 15 in Arlington, Texas, in response to a serious incident near AT&T Stadium. The situation involved a domestic dispute with a weapon reportedly brandished by a suspect, who is now in custody. No injuries have been reported, and authorities confirmed the incident is not connected to the upcoming World Cup match between England and Croatia on June 17. This follows an earlier theft of England’s training equipment, which included boots and tournament balls, but those items have since been partially recovered. The team's arrival in Kansas City is scheduled for June 17.
