ALBANY , N.Y. — A police officer in Albany , New York, was “ambushed” by a driver following an attempted traffic stop early Wednesday and was shot in the leg before returning fire, killing the man, the city’s police chief said.
“We just experienced one of an officer’s worst nightmares, and that is being ambushed performing a routine part of their duties,” he said. The officer approached the vehicle, Hawkins said. He was about 5 feet away from it when the man, who was out of the car, “emerges and immediately fires shots at the officer and strikes the officer,” Hawkins said.
