Saginaw police confirmed it happened around 8 a.m. as officers were attempting to serve a felony arrest warrant at a home in the 1300 block of North Creek Drive.
Images from SKY 4 showed numerous police vehicles and crime scene tape around a home in a residential neighborhood near Highway 287, north of Fort Worth.
Police said the male suspect resisted arrest and became involved in a physical confrontation with the officers. One officer fired shots, striking the suspect.
The suspect was taken to the hospital. His family confirmed to FOX 4's Amelia Jones that he died from his injuries.
CLEAT, a local police union, confirmed on social media that all officers are okay. The union sent one of its attorneys to the scene.
The Texas Rangers were also called in to conduct an independent investigation and will present their findings to the Tarrant County District Attorney’s Office.

Saginaw police asked the community for patience as investigators work to determine all the facts and circumstances surrounding the case.
"Our department remains committed to justice and transparency throughout the investigative process," the department said in a news release.
Neighbors were alarmed by the number of police vehicles in the neighborhood.
"It was so close to home, it's pretty terrifying to know something like that happened just across the street and like have no clue about it until you come out and see what's going on on your street," Jill Smith, a neighbor, told Jones.
