Police Captain
Robert Melton had responded to a report of several people in a
vehicle shooting at a man, police said in a statement.
Three or four people in the car ran when police arrived. Melton
"attempted to make contact" with a suspect and was shot, the
statement said.
Melton was taken to a hospital and died of his injuries, it
said. Two people were in custody and one suspect was still at
large.
National attention has been focused on attacks on law
enforcement officers following the ambush killings of eight
police officers in Dallas and Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
