"He was just bleeding everywhere, all over, and just not running right. He entered the office at the motel and he collapsed right in there," the witness said.
No arrests have been made and the cause of the shooting remains unknown.
This is the second Houston police officer killed in three weeks, and the fourth Houston police officer killed in 12 months.
In October, an officer was shot and killed while responding to a domestic violence situation. In that case, the officer was a 41 year veteran of the force who was planning on retiring this year.
