The shooting happened in the 4100 block of Bernal Drive near Loop 12 in Dallas.
NBC 5 reported that the suspect, who was also shot, was armed with a rifle and slumped down inside a car that was riddled with bullets.
Dozens of officers with guns drawn had surrounded the vehicle before SWAT officers removed him from the car at about 7 p.m.
Police said the reason they were trying to stop the man was because he is a suspect in a murder just two days ago. The murder occurred at 3 a.m. in front of an Oak Cliff house located in the 1500 block of Southerland. A 21-year-old man was shot and killed in the incident.
The gunman ran off with several bags of marijuana, spilling some of them in the yard as he fled after the shooting. Another man escaped the shooting by jumping through a window, police said. Police apparently got a description of the suspect's car, which matched the car involved in the shooting.
Paramedics took the man from the scene in an ambulance.
According to a police statement, the suspect was transported to Parkland Hospital and is in critical condition. A weapon was found in the suspect's vehicle, the statement added. The officer was pronounced dead at Parkland Hospital,
