#3  But he shot the officer point-blank - allegedly in the chest - at about 2.15am this morning following his arrest on suspicion of possessing ammunition

I... I can't believe this is a thing. This Officer is dead, and the shooter turned gun on himself, critical condition. All because they found some Ammo on him. Not the gun, just some of the ammo.
