Missouri cop shot during traffic stop after turning back to suspect; comes day after Dallas police attack
A St. Louis-area cop was shot during a traffic stop Friday — just a day after five Dallas police officers were killed while protecting an anti-police brutality protest.
The cop was walking back to his patrol car after ticketing a driver for speeding in Ballwin, a suburb of St. Louis, KSDK reported. The driver got out of his pulled-over car, shot the officer at least once in the neck and fled, sources said.
