A deputy is dead and two others injured after being gunned down while working an extra security job in Houston.
The incident happened early Saturday morning around 2:15am outside a bar on the 4400 block of the North Freeway.

All three were transported to an area hospital where two of the officers are expected to survive and one succumbed to his injuries.
The officers were later identified as Deputy Darrell Garrett,28, Deputy Juqaim Barthen,26 and Deputy Kareem Atkins,30.
Atkins who was produced dead leaves behind a 6 month old son, 2 year old daughter and wife.
