One Texas police officer was killed and a second officer was wounded in a shooting at a home in Austin that also left the suspected gunman dead. That is according to a post on the City Council message board. The post from Mayor Kirk Watson by Chief of Staff Colleen Pate says a SWAT officer was killed early Saturday and the second officer was undergoing surgery. The officers’ names were not released. Austin police declined to comment until a news conference later Saturday is held.
