RIP. Prayers to the trooper and family.

That’s awful. He was a great guy with a lovely family. He wasn’t a close friend, but we knew each other, and I just can’t process the fact that he’s gone. He and his wife were a great and happy couple.

It always made me happy to see his wife and those adorable twins when I’d bump into them in Brookshires.

Man, this ain’t right...

Sad day for the Family and All the Officers that keep us safe.

I think there must be conflicting stories still. Update half an hour ago said he is still alive. I hope that is the case.

Fear God in heaven, accept the soul of Chad Walker. Keep him safe and secure in your love for all eternity. He died trying to keep your humble servants on earth safe from harm and made the ultimate sacrifice by doing his job. Still the hearts of his family a nd friends and fill them with the joy of knowing he is now wa!liking with God as a Trooper for him. Thank him for us for being a soldier for Christ. Amen.

Most recent update (23 minutes ago in wife’s FB account) from back home is that Chad Walker is still alive, though still in critical condition. This info comes from an extremely reliable source and friend of the Walker family who is at the hospital as we speak. Please let this be true.

RIP

1 hour ago THP released a statement that he is still alive but in critical condition

This is rom today

A man wanted on suspicion of shooting a Texas trooper multiple times in a rural roadside ambush has been found dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to authorities.

The body of the 36-year-old alleged gunman was discovered Saturday night in a house in the Central Texas town of Mexia, where he had barricaded himself during a standoff with law enforcement officers, the Texas Department of Public Safety said in a statement.

The suspect's death came a day after he allegedly ambushed Texas Highway Patrol Trooper Chad Walker, a married father of four children, shooting him in the head and abdomen when Walker responded to what he apparently thought was a disabled motorist parked on the shoulder of a road about 40 miles northeast of Waco, public safety officials said.

Walker was taken to a hospital in Waco, where he remains in critical condition, officials said.

"Trooper Walker is still alive but remains in critical condition. Your thoughts and prayers for him and his family are much appreciated," the Texas Department of Public Safety tweeted Sunday night.

Watch over this man...............
