On Thursday evening, a suspect who was subsequently shot dead by law enforcement shot and killed a Dallas Police Department officer and injured two others.
Fox News reported that Dallas police responded to an officer in distress at approximately 10:00 p.m. and discovered him shot in a marked squad vehicle.
At the site, police engaged in a gunfight with a suspect, resulting in the injuries of two additional officers, one of whom is currently in critical condition.

Darron Burks, 46, was identified by his family as the deceased Dallas officer on Friday.
The department has announced that the flags at its facilities will be flown at half-staff in honor of the deceased officer.
