A St. Paul Police officer was shot several times and killed around 2:20 a.m. this morning near 7th St. and Forest Ave. on St. Paul's East Side.
Two suspects are on the loose.
The dead officer has been identified as Sgt. Gerald Vick, 41, Chief John Harrington told reporters this morning.
Officers performed CPR on Vick on the scene, but Vick died as he was being taken to the hospital, Harrington explained.
Throngs of police are combing the neighborhood looking for two suspects. A mile-and-a-half perimeter has been set up around the alley where the shooting happened.
The Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, the Ramsey County Sheriff, and other police departments are assisting in the search.
The suspects are described as two black males, both between the ages of 25 and 30.
The first suspect is described as five feet seven inches tall, wearing a white shirt and dark pants with a white strip down the side.

what kind of title is that?
where are the details on them catching the suspects? I read what KSTP had and am I missing something. They dont have 'em.
One of the local talk radio hosts (Bob Davis) You should hear some of the callers, slamming the cops, for reacting like they have. SOME people really need to get a clue.

didn't catch that but some are allegedley talking trash about SPPD
Sergeant Vick was shot and killed at approximately 0220 hours by two suspects while conducting an undercover investigation in a residential area near 7th Street and Forest Avenue. As Sergeant Vick and another officer contacted two suspects shots were fired and Sergeant Vick was struck several times. The two suspects fled the scene and remain at large.
Sergeant Vick had served with the agency for 16 years. He is survived by his wife and two children.
Prayers for the family
See reply #8
A source just told me that they have more suspects to round up. Pray that his training will serve him well.
Actually in St. Paul, Yes.
Your sarcasm is not appreciated.
And next time you need them and dial 911 they will still respond...
the perps that were caught have a combined arrest total of
47. why I'm I not surprised.(blue state "justice")
now expecting the media to interview family and friends of offenders who will all defend the former "honor student/alter boy"
I was in MSP this morning... I hope they got the killers. What's the latest? Thanks.
