Cleveland police officer fatally shot; search underway for suspect
A manhunt was underway in Cleveland early Friday after a veteran police officer was fatally shot Thursday night, according to reports.
Killed in the shooting was Officer James Skernivitz, 53, who had been with the department since 1998, sources told Cleveland.com.
“Cleveland lost one of its finest in the line of duty,” police Chief Calvin Williams said, according to FOX 8. “He was out doing what all police officers do – trying to protect the people of our city – and he gave his life.”
The police officer had been riding in a patrol car that was fired upon several times, with the car crashing, sources told the station.
The officer died of his wounds after being transported to a hospital.
