A Texas sheriff’s deputy working a second job was killed and two colleagues were wounded in an apparent ambush outside a Houston nightclub, officials said.

“We believe they were ambushed, shot from behind,” said James Jones, executive assistant chief of the Houston Police Department.

The Harris County deputies were working “policerelated extra jobs” at the 44 North Bar and Lounge when the incident unfolded at around 2:15 a.m. Saturday.

The deputies went outside to check a disturbance and were trying to detain a suspect when they were shot.
