St Louis trying to earn that spot on the list
GREEN PARK • A St. Louis County police officer who was shot "almost immediately" after he got out of his car while answering a call before dawn Thursday has died, police said.
A second officer then shot the suspect, an 18-year-old man who was badly injured.
The shooting happened shortly after 5 a.m. in Green Park, said Benjamin Granda, a spokesman for the St. Louis County police. Green Park is a small city in south St. Louis County, northwest of the South County Center mall.
Shortly after the shooting, Granda said both the officer and suspect were "in bad shape." Police later said the officer had died.
