"Kenneth Copeland was not supposed to be working Monday. Now he's being memorialized as a hero.
The veteran officer with the San Marcos, Texas, police department was shot and killed in the line of duty Monday afternoon while trying to serve an arrest warrant.
He and other officers were serving the warrant in a subdivision about 2:23 p.m. when a suspect opened fire on them 'much like in an ambush type of situation,' said San Marcos Police Chief Chase Stapp at a news conference."

'The suspect surrendered to officers and was transported to a hospital with a gunshot wound. He will be taken into custody when he's medically stable, Stapp said. It was not immediately known whether the suspect shot himself or was shot by an officer on the scene,' Stapp said.
'Police are not identifying the suspect until he can be taken before a judge and formally charged,' Stapp said."
Sad that cops get killed regularly while just trying to do their jobs of serving and protecting like this man did. Ambushed.
The suspect is being given careful treatment until formal charging, so, as of the time of the article, has not been identified.
What a dangerous job it is being a police officer and it comes with so much disrespect and hate. Very sad.
