GLADSTONE, Mo. (AP) — A police officer and a suspect have both been shot near Kansas City, Missouri. The teenage suspect was shot and killed during a traffic stop near Vivion Road and 169 Highway, according to police.

Multiple media reports say the shooting happened about 10:30 p.m. Sunday. The officer involved is with the Gladstone, Missouri, police department. Gladstone is a Kansas City suburb.

No further information has been released, but the Kansas City Fraternal Order of Police said on Twitter that the officer is expected to survive.

 

 

The shooting came on the same day a San Antonio officer was fatally shot, and a St. Louis officer was critically wounded in what the police chief called an “ambush” attack by someone who pulled alongside the officer’s SUV.
