Interim Austin Police Chief Robin Henderson said Officer Jorge Pastore was killed in a shootout with a barricaded gunman while trying to rescue hostages.

A barricaded gunman holding three hostages in Austin, Texas, shot and killed a SWAT officer early Saturday before being killed at the scene, authorities said. Two apparent victims were also found dead inside the home after police forced their way inside around 4 a.m. and traded fire with the suspect, interim Austin Police Chief Robin Henderson told reporters at the scene. The officer killed was later identified as Officer Jorge Pastore.

Henderson said that multiple officers had opened fire during the shootout, which will be investigated by both the Austin Police Department's internal affairs division and the department's special investigation unit in conjunction with the Travis County District Attorney's Office.
