TEXAS Game Warden Killed in Shootout with Poacher

But that seems to be what happened this past weekend in Texas when Warden Justin Hurst was involved in a car chase that ended in a shootout where he sustained fatal wounds.
Warden Hurst was backing up a fellow Warden who observed the suspect illegally hunting late Friday Night early Saturday morning and was fleeing from that warden. A lengthy chase ensued and ended with a heavy exchange of gunfire between the suspect, wardens and sheriff deputies.
