Shooter dies by his own hand.
Trooper is in the hospital.
A Texas State Trooper shot Friday night near Mexia has "no viable brain activity" and is currently on life support so that his organs can be donated, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety.
The DPS said in a tweet at about 1:30 p.m. that Trooper Chad Walker will remain on life support "until he can share the gift of life as an organ donor."
"This final sacrifice embodies Trooper Walker’s actions throughout his life and service as a Texas Highway Patrol Trooper. The Walker family is grateful for the continued support and prayers as they remain at Chad’s side," the DPS said.

But here are all the Statewide alerts explained on DPS site: https://www.dps.texas.gov/section/intel ... lear-alertELB wrote: Sat Mar 27, 2021 10:46 am I did not know there was such a thing as a Blue Alert, but my phone just told me about them about 30 min ago.
