Texas officer shot in back during ambush attack needs transplant, bullets damaged kidneys, fiancé says

Harris County Constable Precinct 4 Deputy Darryl Garrett, 28, had both of his kidneys and his gall bladder removed after getting shot multiple times in the back, his fiance told a local news outlet.

Garrett was responding to a possible robbery in the parking lot outside a bar with fellow Precinct 4 Constable Deputy Kareem Atkins. Garrett and Atkins were attempting to arrest a suspect when a second suspect appeared and opened fire with an AR-15 rifle, striking both deputies.

A third deputy, 26-year-old Juqaim Barthen, heard the shots and rushed to help but was immediately shot and immobilized.
