A police officer was fatally shot early Friday at a Wal-Mart store in Austin, Texas, and*a suspect is in custody.

Senior Police Officer Jaime Padron was shot in the neck and died at the scene, Austin Police Chief Art Acevedo said, adding that Padron left behind two daughters, ages 10 and six.

Acevedo said the officer was responding to a routine call about a drunk man in the store.

KUT News reported that when the officer arrived at the scene, the suspect began to fight him. The suspect then pulled out a semi-automatic pistol, according to police, and shot the officer in the neck.

The officer was able to radio for help, KUT said, but he later died in the store.

Acevedo said two Wal-Mart employees tackled the suspect after the shooting and held him until another police officer arrived and arrested him.

Brandon Montgomery Daniel, 24, was*booked into the Travis County jail on capital murder charges in connection with the shooting, according to jail records. If convicted of capital murder, Daniel could face the death penalty.

Acevedo said he would like to see the shooter face murder charges.

"It is a tragedy on Good Friday to lose an officer like this, but it is part of what these men and women do," Acevedo said, according to KWTX.com. "They know when they become a police officer that this is a sacrifice they are willing to make."

RIP Brotha. Leave the FTP stuff at the door. Thx. Props to the Walmart employee for tackling this piece of shit and holding him till backup could arrest him. Hope this kid likes needles. This just reminds me how vulnerable we are. All the other police and fire brothers out there, y'all be safe and keep that head on a swivel!

Pics of this sack of Shit? I understand the justice system and the right to a fair trial but sometimes that just isn't needed. Back up arrives, go to video and watch video up until the officers can see themselves arrive on video. Find them guilty and shoot him in the face

I recall an incident where a place was robbed and the suspect duct taped - tied the employees and was about to execute them. The manager nailed the bad guy with a hammer. The employer fired the manager. I may have the story a little twisted but that's the gist of it.

Terrible. Things like this make me hope there is a back room somewhere at the station where mother fuckers like this get the shit beat out of them and spend the night lying in a pool of their own blood, shit and piss.

I believe it was at a Target recently that a man shot at employees one of which returned fire hitting the perp and employee was fired for it... Well technically he was fired for having a concealed at work but if he hadn't how many would have been killed?

Seriously ? I can;t imagine how the employer felt that was justified.

RIP
