DPD says the wounded officer was shot in the leg and shoulder around 12:30 a.m. while confronting a suspect in another shooting at Prairie Creek Road and Scyene Circle.
The officer was rushed to Baylor Medical Center in East Dallas, where he is awake and talking. His injuries are not considered life-threatening.
The K9 was also hit in the exchange of gunfire and is also expected to recover.
The Dallas Police Association says the officer is a tenured officer who was well known in the department.
“He’s doing well, obviously he’s in care. He’s going to be here for a while, spoke with the family, but he’s doing well,” said Sgt. Mike Mata, the president of the Dallas Police Association.
Police were trying to find a person who was wanted for a domestic shooting in the area on Thursday night.
