Officer Darron Burks, 46, was fatally shot Thursday during a “premeditated execution” about 10 p.m. in southeast Oak Cliff while waiting for an assignment in his squad car, Chief Eddie García said. Corey Cobb-Bey, 30, then shot two officers — Senior Cpls. Jamie Farmer and Karissa David — and led other officers on a chase to Lewisville.

After Burks was shot, a dispatcher noticed an unusual transmission from Burks’ radio and tried to contact him but got no response, the chief has said. Police found him using his GPS location as Cobb-Bey went back to his car and got a shotgun. He fired at Farmer and David as they responded to check on Burks, the chief said.
Farmer, who was shot in the leg, was treated and released from the hospital. David, who was shot in the face, was in critical condition but listed as stable, the chief said Friday.Kelli Smith , Staff Writer.
