A Memphis police officer and a teenager were killed during a shootout early Friday after police responded to call about a suspicious vehicle. Officers responded to a call about a suspicious vehicle at Horn Lake Road and Charter Avenue at 2 a.m. Friday, police said. When they approached the car, police said they were fired upon by the occupants inside and officers returned fire.

The other suspect, described as 17, remains in the hospital. Davis said the 18-year-old suspect who died had been previously arrested by Memphis police in March, found in a stolen vehicle with “an illegal modified semi-automatic weapon with a Glock switch attached” that converted the weapon into a fully automatic machine gun. At that time the teen was also charged in connection with two stolen vehicles and having a programming device commonly used to steal cars.
