Micah Flick, 34, was fatally shot in the line of duty after a gunfight erupted over a stolen vehicle in Colorado Springs, Colorado

A Colorado sheriff's deputy was fatally shot and three other law enforcement officers and a bystander were injured after a gunfight erupted over a stolen vehicle.

Micah Flick, 34, is survived by his wife, Rachael, and two children, who are 7-year-old twins. He died on the 11th anniversary of his service in the force.

He and other officers were investigating a stolen vehicle in Colorado Springs when they approached a suspect, struggled with him and gunfire began, authorities said.

The sole suspect, police said, was also killed.

Hundreds of civilians and officers lined South Nevada Avenue to pay their respects to Flick in a police procession, as law enforcement officials from Colorado to New York paid him tribute on social media.

The incident occurred near the intersection of North Murray Boulevard and Galley Road around 4pm, CBS News reports.

Television footage showed dozens of police vehicles at the scene Monday in a neighborhood of single-family homes, apartment buildings and retail stores.

The injured officers’ names were not immediately released. Officials said two are deputies with the sheriff’s office and the third is an officer with the Colorado Springs Police Department.

All the victims were hospitalized, CBS News reports. The police officer, the Denver Post reports, was in stable condition.

A procession was held for the fallen officer this evening.

The sheriff's office wrote in a tweet: 'Our Brother Deputy Flick. End of Watch, February 5, 2018.'

In a statement, Colorado governor John Hickenlooper called Flick's death a 'senseless act of violence' and asked Colorado residents to provide sympathy to his family and pray for the injured.

Hickenlooper, per CBS News, said: 'We will once more come together to provide sympathy and strength for the deputy's loved ones and pray for the recovery of those injured.'

He added: 'However, we also must come together and say enough is enough. We want each officer, every deputy, to know we are grateful for their service.'

Hickenlooper also decreed that flags will be flown at half-mast from February 6 until Flick's funeral, the date for which has not yet been set.

The governor also said the deaths of three law enforcement officers in the state over the past five weeks are having 'a grave impact'.
