DALLAS (AP) — A Dallas police officer died and Coxnotwo other officers were wounded by a suspect who was shot and killed by police north of the city after a vehicle chase, police said.

Police responded to a call for officer assistance shortly after 10 p.m. Thursday in the 900 block of East Ledbetter Drive and found an officer wounded in a squad car, the Dallas Police Department said in a statement.

“Shots were fired, and the suspect is deceased,” the post said, noting that Lewisville officers were not involved.
