— A man shot and killed a police officer and wounded two others who were checking on a disturbance at a Missouri home. The patrol said shots were fired at the Clinton officers soon after they arrived at the home around 9:20 p.m. Tuesday. One of the wounded officers remained hospitalized Wednesday with moderate injuries. Morton is the second Clinton police officer in the past year to be killed in the line of duty. The patrol said Morton was a full-time Clinton officer from February 2015 through January 2017, when he temporarily became a reserve officer.
