Source: ABC News
A man suspected in a murder shot three police officers in Kansas City, Missouri, during a confrontation that began at a motel Sunday afternoon and ended with him being shot dead during a gunfight at a nearby home he had briefly barricaded himself in, authorities said.
The shooting erupted just after noon at the Sky-Vu Motel on Highway 40 on the east side of the city as undercover and tactical officers were conducting an investigation into the robbery and killing at a market last week of a 25-year-old University of Missouri, Kansas City student, police said.
"They [police] encountered a suspect who fired on officers with a rifle," police said in the tweets.
Two officers were shot in the initial confrontation at the motel, police said.
