 One Texas police officer was killed and a second officer was wounded in a shooting early Saturday at a home in Austin That also left the suspected gunman dead according to a post on the city council message board by the mayor's chief of staff One of our SWAT officers is dead Another officer was shot shortly after 4 a.m. According to the post by Colleen Pate for Mayor Kirk Watson The suspect was shot and was deceased at the scene the post said but provided no further information Austin police declined to comment until a news conference later Saturday I'm praying for the family of our fallen officer Watson said in a separate statement and for our officer who was shot and in surgery and his family Jerry Jo Benson a resident of the neighborhood where the incident occurred told a Kaviue television reporter Nobody wants a shooting in their neighborhood and nobody wants definitely an officer shooting Officers are putting their lives on the line here. It's it's a hard job They I saw police lights and then I heard them kind of do the whoop-whoop Didn't really think anything of it. I thought maybe it was like a fire truck or something So I went back to sleep We'll back up and saw the lights through my bedroom Windows still and I was like oh man something's going on and then I kind of got up at six and saw That they had crooned off the whole street And then looked up the news and saw that there was a shooting right down the street, so definitely Kind of checking it out Not great, right? Nobody wants a shooting in their neighborhood and nobody wants definitely an officer shooting Officers are putting their lives on the line here. It's it's a hard job I don't when I go to work. There's a very low chance of me getting shot So it's tough for the police to be here and having to have that happen to co-worker So I brought out those muffins. I kind of feel bad for them. I mean, they're working early on Veterans Day with a Tragedy that's happened. I mean, I can't imagine What the families are having to go through losing somebody when they were just trying to protect people, right? I can see it from my bedroom windows. I don't think our street was they didn't knock on our doors or anything But maybe closer to the area they did But yeah, nobody was evacuated and I know none of the police came up and talked to me or my neighbors
