Two people are dead and others injured in a shooting early Monday morning that involved a police officer. It's unclear how the officer was involved, or if any victims were struck by police fire.

ËÄ»¢Ó°Ôº reached out to the Dallas Police Department for more details including how the officer was involved, but the department declined to comment further.

Police responded to a disturbance on the 2000 block of Commerce Street, near a night club around 2 a.m. Officers confronted an armed person and gunfire ensued, Dallas police said.

Two people died at the scene, while multiple others were transported to a nearby hospital with injuries. DPD confirmed that no officers were injured, and the investigation is ongoing.
