AND ANOTHER – AT 9:33 A.M. ET:  It's now five officers shot in one week.  From Fox: 

A Michigan college police officer was released from surgery and is fighting for his life after being shot in the head while on patrol near campus Tuesday night and a person of interest was arrested.

The Wayne State University officer was identified as 29-year-old Colin Rose, a five-year veteran of the department who works in the canine unit. Detroit Police Chief James Craig was on duty when he radioed to say he was investigating possible thefts of navigation systems from cars and SUVs, and was about to speak to someone apparently on a bike.

Officers who arrived on the scene found the officer injured on the ground, Craig said...

...A woman who witnessed the shooting told Fox 2 Detroit it happened while Rose was attempting to apprehend someone.

"The officer was trying to get him to put his arms behind his back." the woman said. "And I'm assuming he didn't want to and he just shot him. We heard one shot and we looked, and the officer was down."

COMMENT:  Let's see if the mainstream media, which is whining over criticism it received from President-elect Trump, will make anything of this.  It's five officers shot in one week, with one dead.  As we've noted, shootings of police officers are up dramatically since last year.

The officer who died had been a member of the San Antonio, Texas, force.   The president-elect phoned his family.
