At 2:38 a.m., a woman screaming for help called 911, saying she was being stabbed.

Officers entered the home about 3 a.m. but retreated after a person inside shot at them.

SWAT officers were called for backup and arrived to the scene about an hour later and forced themselves inside the home around 4:11 a.m. The suspect shot at police, with a firefight ensuing in which two officers and the suspect were hit. The suspect was pronounced dead at the scene.

One officer died from his injuries "despite the tremendous efforts of our officers, EMS attack medics, Austin Fire Department and local hospital staff," Henderson said. Another was taken to a hospital and is in stable condition.

Two other people inside the home were found dead.

When was the last time an Austin officer was shot on duty?

This marks the first time in more than a decade that an Austin officer has died in an on-duty shooting. The last officer to die in an on-duty shooting was officer Jaime Padron in April 2012.

Since Padron's death in 2012, COVID-19 and car crashes have killed six more officers in the line of duty, according to the Austin Police memorial page.

The Austin Police Retired Officers Association published a post on X, formerly Twitter, commenting on the recent officer's killing.

"Our hearts are heavy this morning with the news of one of our brothers with APD having been shot and killed in the line of duty," the post said. "Please pray for his family all the APD family and for the speedy recovery of a second officer wounded in the same incident."

Will Austin police release body cam footage, audio of the shooting?

Henderson said officers' body-worn cameras captured footage of the shooting.

Generally, Austin police release bodycam footage as well as 911 recordings within 10 days of the incident.
