PAYNE SPRINGS, Texas Two Henderson County sheriff's deputies were shot and killed and another was wounded Thursday afternoon while responding to a domestic disturbance near this East Texas town.
The shooting occurred just hours after the deputies had participated in the county's peace officers memorial to honor those slain in the line of duty, sheriff's Lt. Pat McWilliams said.
McWilliams said the gunman also was shot and taken to a hospital. He did not know the man's condition. A woman who was in the home was not injured and was being interviewed by Texas Rangers.
"We've got to work the crime scene as gruesome as it is," he told Dallas-Fort Worth television station KDFW.
McWilliams said the wounded deputy's injuries did not appear to be life-threatening.
Rebecca Berkley, spokeswoman for East Texas Medical Center in Tyler, said the hospital had been advised to expect two patients. She had no immediate conditions on the two people.
One of the officers killed was in uniform and the other was a plain clothes investigator, McWilliams said. (more at link)
