An Arkansas police officer was shot and killed on Thursday and the alleged killer remains at-large, authorities said.
The unidentified cop, who is said to be a father of two and a 10-year law enforcement veteran, was in pursuit of a man wanted in connection to a shooting earlier in November, according to CNN. The suspect hopped out of a red vehicle after authorities located him and a gunfight broke out between the wanted man and two officers, CNN reported.
