Euless, Texas — A disturbing incident that took place on May 19, 2024, has left the community of Euless, Texas reeling. According to police reports, a 42-year-old woman, identified as Elizabeth Wolf, has been charged with attempted capital murder and injury to a child after an altercation that involved attempted drowning of a child.
Details of the Incident
On the day of the incident, Euless police responded to a disturbance in the 2500 block of Highway 360. Witnesses reported that Elizabeth Wolf, who appeared to be intoxicated, attempted to drown a child after arguing with the child’s mother. Wolf was subsequently arrested for public intoxication.
Further investigation revealed that Wolf had been making racially charged remarks towards the mother of the victims, questioning her nationality and making derogatory comments. The situation escalated when Wolf allegedly tried to grab the mother’s 6-year-old son, causing a minor injury, and then proceeded to forcefully submerge her 3-year-old daughter underwater.
The quick actions of the mother prevented a tragedy, as she managed to pull her daughter out of the water while she was screaming for help. Euless Medics arrived at the scene to attend to the children, who thankfully did not sustain serious injuries.

I want to thank Euless PD for quickly apprehending the alleged provocateur, and I extend my service to the affected family.”
