3 Dead, Dallas Officer Shot, Citizen Kills Shooter
Shootout in The Big D!
A man was shot and killed after shooting a Dallas police officer early Sunday, according to an NBC5 report.
Two other people were killed in the incident near downtown Dallas, according to the report.
According to a Dallas police spokesman, at 2:15 a.m. two officers reponded to what they thought was a shooting, an accident, or both on southbound I-35E in front of Reunion Arena.
They found two people sprawled on the freeway in front of a car, and each officer went to help one of the wounded, said Lt. Vernon Hale. One of the officers was then shot by a man sitting in the driver's seat of the car, he said.
The shooter was himself shot and killed by another person, Hale said. Neither officer fired a shot, he said.
The officer, a 17-year veteran, is in serious condition at Methodist hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, NBC5 reported.
The I-35E service road is shut down between Oak Lawn Ave. and Colorado Blvd. while officers investigate the incident.
