Garrett Hull, 40, a 17-year veteran of the department, was critically wounded and the man who shot him was also killed

An undercover police officer from Fort Worth, Texas who was shot in the head during a gunfight with a group of armed robbers, has died. 

Officer Garrett Hull, a 17-year veteran of the force, was pronounced dead at 9:40pm Friday at John Peter Smith Hospital.

Hundred of his fellow officers were at the hospital when they heard the news after gathering to show support.

'We've lost a true hero,' said police chief Joel Fitzgerald. 'Someone who has dedicated more than one tour of service to this great city... our whole department is hurting right now.'

'Officer Hull's death is the worst case scenario for our men and women in blue,' Fort Worth Mayor Betsy Price said at a news conference.

Hull was the first officer from the department to die in the line of duty since 2006 according to Dallas News.

He was watching a trio of armed robbery suspects around midnight when they entered a sports bar.

Hull, 40, was with at least 10 other officers conducting surveillance on a group of people suspected in a series of robberies around Fort Worth

The three men walked in with guns drawn but Hull and a bunch of other officers were waiting outside and confronted them as they tried to run from the establishment and jump into an SUV.

Police said one of the men, Dacion Steptoe, aimed at Hull and he was shot in the head. 

Another officer returned fire, killing Steptoe, according to WFAA.

Two other men, Samuel Mayfield and Timothy Huff, have been identified by authorities as being Steptoe's accomplices.

The trio are suspected of being involved in as many as 17 armed robberies

The robberies are mainly of Latino bars, in which three people have so far been shot.

Officials say that on the night Hull was shot, the three men were returning to the same bar they had robbed in July.  

Hull is survived by a wife and two daughters.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
