‘US officer killed in apparent ambush’
A police officer in the US southern state of Kentucky has been shot and killed in an apparent ambush, a report says.
Police Officer Jason Ellis, 33, was found dead on an exit ramp in north central Kentucky early Saturday morning, the Courier-Journal daily reported on Sunday.
According to the Kentucky State Police, Ellis was fatally shot when he had stopped to remove debris deliberately placed on the roadway.
Kentucky State Police spokesperson, Master Trooper Norman Chaffins said at a press conference, œSomeone planned this, and someone planned to shoot someone at that spot and at that time.”
The 33-year-old was found lying outside his police cruiser after the police received a call about an accident involving a Bardstown police officer on the ramp.
The emergency lights of Ellis™s vehicle were still on and when a trooper arrived at the scene he œquickly noticed that this was no traffic accident,” Chaffins said.
He went on to note that it is still unknown if Ellis was the target of the deadly shooting, or just happened to stop at the wrong place at the wrong time.
œWe™re looking at the possibility of one, possibly two or three persons involved with this,” Chaffins said.
Every year, more than 30,000 people are shot and killed in the US.
The US averages 87 gun deaths each day as a function of gun violence, with an average of 183 injured, according to the University of Chicago Crime Lab and the Centers for Disease Control.
About 4.5 million firearms are sold annually in the United States at a cost of 2 to 3 billion dollars.
