Police officer, suspect dead after North Texas park shootout

EULESS, Texas (AP) — A Texas police officer who died after a gunfight had moved from New York City to the Dallas area because he wanted to be somewhere safer, his mother says.
Officer David Hofer, 29, died Tuesday during surgery following a gunfight with an armed suspect in a park near a Dallas-area school.
A 2008 graduate of New York University, Hofer served in the New York Police Department for five years before coming to Euless in 2014, Police Chief Mike Brown said.
