DEVELOPING: Memphis Police Officer Killed By Teens, Suspect Revealed

One Memphis police officer has been killed and two others injured after a fatal shootout with two teens on Friday morning.

Officer Joseph McKinney was tragically killed by two teens during a shootout at 2 AM on Friday.

Two other police officers were also injured during the shooting, but are in stable condition following the incident.

The suspects have since been revealed as two teenagers. Journalist Collin Rugg had more:

“It gets even more infuriating: One teen involved in the shootout, who was also killed, was arrested by the police back in March.

He was found in a stolen vehicle with “an illegally modified semi-automatic weapon with a Glock switch attached” making it fully automatic.

He was also charged with stealing two other vehicles. He was released at the time without bond. Joseph McKinney should be alive.”
