FORT WORTH (CBSDFW.COM) - The Fort Worth Police Department announced it's hosting a candlelight vigil in memory of Officer Garrett Hull on Wednesday, September 19.

It is set to happen at Fort Worth Police Headquarters at 7:35 p.m. at 505 W. Felix Street.  

The public is welcome to attend.

Hull was shot and killed by a robbery suspect last Friday.

Officer Hull was shot in the head during a sting operation.

The undercover officers tracked suspected robbers to a small bar on Fort Worth's south side early Friday morning.

When the officers moved in to confront them, the suspects opened fire.

Hull leaves behind a wife and two daughters.
