Have any police officers been shot in the US this year ?A British police officer.........likely unarmed.....was shot and murdered...by a criminal who had an illegal gun.....in Britain.....you know, where they have gun control....
Inside a police station no less..........
I once saw and episode of the t.v. show, "Cops," when they went to London......it showed London Bobbies taking a really tall guy into custody.....they simply opened the tiny police car door, and the guy got in.....they didn't search the guy till they got to the station......
This is why you search suspects when you arrest them......
A "long-serving" custody sergeant died after being shot by a suspect inside a police station.
The victim died in hospital after the gunman, who was being detained, opened fire at Croydon custody centre in south London during the early hours of Friday.
The alleged killer, 23, is believed to then have turned the firearm on himself. He was arrested and taken to hospital, where he remains in a critical condition after sustaining a gunshot wound.
Paramedics were scrambled to Croydon custody centre in Windmill Road at 2.15am. Officers who witnessed the shooting, battled to save their colleague’s life.
Urgent questions were today being asked about how the suspect, believed to have been arrested on suspicion of possessing ammunition, was apparently able to take a gun inside the station and whether the weapon was missed in a search. The Met said no police firearm was discharged.

The station was described as a “state of the art” secure facility with space for more than 40 prisoners when it opened in 2012.
