El Paso police officer wounded, shooter killed in gunfight at Upper Valley home

An El Paso police officer was wounded and a man suspected in a domestic violence incident was killed in a gunfight at a home in the Upper Valley, authorities said.

A female officer and another officer responded to a report of a family fight in progress about 3:15 p.m. Sunday, June 1, at a home in the 6400 block of Passo Via Street, El Paso Police Department spokesperson Sgt. Robert Gomez said. The address is in the area of Borderland Road and Westside Drive.

The call of “shots fired” went out at 3:20 p.m., prompting a large response as backup officers rushed to the scene in the middle-class neighborhood.

The shooter was believed to have been armed with a handgun, according to preliminary information, Gomez said. Other people were inside the home, including children, during the confrontation.
