A Kansas City, Kan. police officer was shot and killed Tuesday afternoon while responding to a reported drive-by shooting.

Officials said Capt. Robert David Melton, 46, was pronounced dead at University of Kansas Hospital at 2:55 p.m. local time.

Later Tuesday, authorities said the suspected shooter was caught about a block away from where Melton was shot. The suspect was being questioned along with a second person suspected in the initial drive-by. A third person who had been taken into custody was determined not to have been involved and was released, police said.
"There's a lot of pain and brokenness in our community and our nation right now, and we just want to ask everyone to be prayerful and thoughtful right now," Mayor Mark Holland of the Unified Government of Wyandotte County said.

Tuesday marked the second time this year that a Kansas City, Kan., police officer had been shot in the line of duty. Detective Brad Lancaster, 39, was shot and killed near Kansas Speedway during a violent crime spree on May 9. Melton had been part of the police honor guard at Lancaster's funeral.
Chief Terry Zeigler tweeted news of the shooting just after 2 p.m.

not good. I'll tell you a short story that is similar. It was 1995, I was in Fall River, Massachusetts with a friend at another one of our friends houses. So the kid we were friends with, one of his sisters came home with some guy she was dating. We asked the for a ride to Providence and they said yes. Fast forward, we were on the highway, state trooper pulls us over. He gets to the car, the driver starts to roll down his window and boom takes off! WTF are you doing? It's then that he tells us he stole the car!!!! As we took off, cop through his flashlight through the back window (in the moment I thought he was shooting at us!) Chase ensues quite a distance (I think we ended up in Rehobeth, Mass), like something you would see on TV...towards the end, lost rubber, sparks everywhere, etc...finally car dies and there what seems like 100 cop cars now. When we got out of car, they cuffed us all of course, but took some pretty good shots at us (mostly kicks). I am not saying what the cops did was right, it is not. I am just telling the story to once again proves it has nothing to do with the color of your skin.

Lol that is a hell of a story.

Maybe that cop in KC had second thoughts about whether to pull the trigger or not, and maybe it cost him his life
