Texas police officer, suspect killed in shootout

A Dallas-area police officer and a suspect were both killed Friday after exchanging gunfire, authorities said.

The unidentified officer was struck twice and the suspect was hit once. They were both taken to the hospital where they were listed in critical condition before they later died. 

"This was a senseless act of violence that ripped a loving father and husband from his family," a visibly emotional Gill said "He was a good man, a good friend and a good officer."
