TODD. AN OFFICER IS DEAD AND TWO MORE ARE INJURED FOLLOWING AN OVERNIGHT SHOOTING IN THE OAK CLIFF AREA OF DALLAS. THE SUSPECT WAS KILLED IN LEWISVILLE AFTER A CHASE AND A SHOOTOUT. CHIEF EDDIE GARCIA POSTED ON SOCIAL MEDIA REACTING TO THE TRAGEDY. POSTING SIMPLY NO WORDS WITH A BLACK LINE ACROSS A POLICE BADGE HONORING THE OFFICER WHO DIED. GARCIA WILL HOLD A NEWS CONFERENCE TODAY AT 5 P.M. MAYOR ERIC JOHNSON CALLED THIS AN ATTACK ON OUR CITY. FOX FOUR'S ALEX BOYER REPORTS FROM THE SCENE IN OAK CLIFF WHERE THE OFFICERS WERE SHOT. SO THIS IS THE COMMUNITY CENTER WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT ALL MORNING LONG. IT WAS IN THIS PARKING LOT WHERE THOSE THREE DALLAS POLICE OFFICERS WERE SHOT. SADLY, WE KNOW ONE OF THEM HAS DIED. NOW, JUST A SHORT TIME AGO, THREE DALLAS POLICE CRUISERS WERE LOADED ONTO A FLATBED TOW TRUCK AND DRIVEN AWAY. I SAW FOUR BULLET HOLES IN THE SIDE OF ONE OF THE SQUAD CARS, ALL NEAR THE GAS CAP. THE VEHICLES WERE PROCESSED BY DETECTIVES AND THEN SEALED WITH RED TAPE BEFORE BEING TAKEN AWAY. YOU'LL RECALL THIS HAPPENED JUST AFTER 10:00 LAST NIGHT. 911 DISPATCH GOT A CALL ABOUT OFFICERS IN DISTRESS. AND WHEN DALLAS POLICE OFFICERS ARRIVED ON SCENE NEAR THIS OAK CLIFF COMMUNITY CENTER, THAT'S WHERE THEY FOUND THE FELLOW DPD OFFICER SHOT IN HIS MARKED PATROL CAR. RESPONDING OFFICERS THEN EXCHANGED GUNFIRE WITH THE SUSPECT AT THE SCENE, AND TWO OTHER OFFICERS WERE SHOT. OUR DEPARTMENT IS HURTING. WE HAVE OFFICERS WHO ARE INJURED, WHO ARE IN THE HOSPITAL, AND WE LOST ONE OF OUR OWN. COUNCILWOMAN CAROLYN KING ARNOLD REPRESENTS THIS DISTRICT. SHE SHOWED UP TO THE SCENE A SHORT TIME AGO AND SAYS THE CITY IS GRIEVING. YOUR BREATH IS TAKEN AWAY TO HAVE SOMEONE WHO GIVES, WHO GAVE HIS LIFE ON A DAY TO DAY PUT HIS LIFE ON THE LINE. THERE'S SO MANY RESPONDERS TO DO IN THE LINE OF DUTY. TO BE BRUTALLY MURDERED IS MY BEST DESCRIPTION OF IT. JUST MURDERED DURING THE TIME THAT HE WAS GIVING HIS SERVICE, AS WE HAVE ASKED HIM TO DO, AND LOOK FORWARD TO THIS OFFICER DOING ON A DAY TO DAY BASIS. IT'S JUST SENSELESS. THE SUSPECT THEN FLED THE SCENE BY CAR AND OTHER RESPONDING OFFICERS FOLLOWED. TXDOT CAMERAS CAPTURED PART OF THE CHASE AS IT MOVED ALONG LOOP 12 HEADED NORTH ALONG THE WEST SIDE OF DALLAS, MAKING ITS WAY ONTO I-35. E SURROUNDING AGENCIES WERE CALLED IN TO HELP. THAT CHASE ENDED IN LEWISVILLE, WHERE, ACCORDING TO A DALLAS POLICE SPOKESWOMAN, THE SUSPECT GOT OUT OF A WHITE SEDAN WITH A LONG GUN. THAT'S WHEN DALLAS POLICE OFFICERS OPENED FIRE, KILLING THE SUSPECT. YOU CAN SEE IN THAT VIDEO THE REAR WINDOW OF THE SUSPECT'S CAR WAS SHATTERED FROM THAT GUNFIRE, AND THERE WERE SEVERAL UNIFORMED OFFICERS ON SCENE THERE, INCLUDING LEWISVILLE POLICE AND YELLOW CRIME SCENE TAPE SURROUNDED THAT AREA FOR HOURS AS DETECTIVES WORKED TO PROCESS THAT SCENE. AND COUNCILWOMAN ARNOLD, I WAS CHATTING WITH HER A LITTLE BIT OFF CAMERA. SHE TELLS ME THAT SHE SPOKE TO THE DIRECTOR OF THIS COMMUNITY CENTER, AND THAT HE TOLD HER THAT THERE IS SURVEILLANCE VIDEO CAPTURED ON THE CAMERAS ALONG THE FRONT OF THIS BUILDING THAT DID CAPTURE SOME OF THAT DEADLY ENCOUNTER. HE SAYS HE'S TURNED THAT OVER TO INVESTIGATORS JUST EXACTLY HOW MUCH IS ON THAT VIDEO IS UNCLEAR, AS IS A MOTIVE. REPORTING IN OAK CLIFF. I'M ALEX BOYER, FOX FOUR NEWS. AND THIS MORNING, FLAGS AT DALLAS POLICE DEPARTMENT HEADQUARTERS WERE SEEN FLYING AT HALF STAFF. FLAGS ACROSS ALL CITY FACILITIES ARE ALSO BEING LOWERED IN MEMORY OF THE OFFICER KILLED. SEVERAL POLICE DEPARTMENTS POSTED CONDOLENCES AND MESSAGES OF SUPPORT FOR DPD. WE ARE UPDATING THIS STORY THROUGHOUT THE DAY HERE ON FOX FOUR NEWS AND ALSO OUR WEBSITE, FOX FOUR NEWS.COM. AGAIN, CHIEF EDDIE GARCIA WILL PROVIDE AN UPDATE AT 5 P.M. AND
