DALLAS — Three Dallas police officers were shot, including one fatally, and a suspect who emerged from a vehicle with a long gun was killed by officers after a highway chase, authorities said Friday. Just after 10 p.m. Thursday, Dallas police responded to an officer in distress call and found a fellow officer wounded in a squad car, police said. The responding officers exchanged gunfire with the suspect at the scene and two of the officers were shot.
The man then got out of the vehicle with a long gun on Interstate 35 and was shot by officers, authorities said. He died at the scene. The identities of the officers were not immediately released. “Dallas has lost a hero,” Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson said in a statement Friday. He said officers do dangerous work with “grace, honor, respect, humility and extraordinary courage” so that “the rest of us can sleep peacefully.
