A Memphis police officer was shot dead during a shootout with two suspects early Friday. Two other police officers were also injured, as was a second suspect.
A Memphis, Tennessee, police officer and an 18-year-old male suspect were killed during an early morning shootout Friday – with the deceased suspect having been arrested last month with an illegal weapon and subsequently let go without bond, law enforcement officials say. A second officer was also struck and is in non-critical condition while a third officer was grazed by a bullet during the gunfire. A second suspect, a 17-year-old, was also shot and is expected to survive, police say.
One of the suspects was immediately apprehended while the other ran off but was later caught nearby, Davis said. The suspects were rushed to a nearby hospital in critical condition and the 18-year-old was later pronounced dead, Davis said. The pair have not been identified. She said that McKinney was also struck and succumbed to his injuries.
