A police detective in Texas has died after he was shot in the neck during a call at a home in Little Elm, the city’s chief says.
Detective Jerry Walker, 48, was rushed to a local hospital, where he later died, Chief Rodney Harrison said at a press conference.
After a standoff that lasted several hours, the suspect was found dead of a gunshot wound inside a home where he had barricaded himself. He has not yet been identified.
The gunman opened fire on officers who were responding to a call of a man armed with a long gun outside a house in a residential neighborhood, KDFW-TV reports.
In a Facebook post, the city asked residents to stay away from the scene.
“There is an active shooter situation in the area of Lobo and Eldorado. Please avoid the area,” the city said.
The house is located in the 1400 block of Turtle Cove Drive.
The chief asked for prayers for Walker’s family, saying he was a “model officer.”
This is a developing story and will be updated as more information is made available. Here’s what we know so far:
