The death early Saturday of Senior Police Officer Jorge Pastore - called "a warrior" by colleagues - marked the first time an Austin police officer was killed in the line of duty in 10 years.
"As SWAT officers entered, the suspect immediately fired his gun at the officers, and the SWAT officers returned fire," the police chief said.
Michael Bullock, the president of the Austin Police Association, described Pastore as a hard worker who "constantly sought to improve."
