DALLAS—A gun battle between police and group of robbery suspects outside of a Fort Worth bar early left one suspect dead and an undercover officer fighting for his life on Sept. 14, authorities said.

The undercover officer, Garrett Hull, was in critical condition at a hospital, Fort Worth police Chief Joel Fitzgerald said at a news conference. The suspect who was killed, Dacion Steptoe, was the one who shot Hull after Steptoe and two accomplices left a bar they had just robbed, the chief said.
