A police officer who authorities say attempted to chase down a 38-year-old felon with three active arrest warrants was fatally shot by the suspect Friday after an exchange of gunfire in a southern New Mexico town. The suspect, Joseph Moreno, also was killed in the morning shootout near a trailer park in Alamogordo, police said at a news conference. Police identified the slain officer as Clint Corvinus, a four-year veteran who graduated from high school in Alamogordo. "I am again so very saddened to see that yet another courageous law enforcement officer has been killed in the line of duty," Gov. Corvinus, on patrol as a field training officer Friday morning, was with another officer when they encountered Moreno.
