Columbus police are investigating after two Westerville police officers were shot and killed Saturday afternoon.

It happened around 11:30 a.m. in the 300 block of Crosswind Drive in Westerville.

According to a press release, a call came into the Westerville 911 center as a hang-up. Responding officers were fired upon during their arrival at the address.

One officer was killed in the shooting and another died shortly after, according to Columbus Police. The suspect is in custody.

LIVE: Authorities are on scene after two Westerville police officers were killed in the line of duty Saturday:

The City of Westerville posted on Twitter, "We are deeply saddened to report that one of our officers has been killed in the line of duty. Please continue to follow back for more information."

City of Westerville✔ @tellwesterville We are deeply saddened to report that one of our officers has been killed in the line of duty. Please continue to follow back for more information. 1:43 PM - Feb 10, 2018

No other information was immediately available.

A news conference will be held at 3:30 p.m. Saturday to reveal more details.

“Our hearts and prayers are with the Westerville officers, their friends, families and the Westerville Police Department at this difficult time. We are indebted to the brave men and women who don the blue and the badge day in and day out to keep our communities safe. Sometimes, those officers don’t make it home at the end of a shift. Now is one of those times and we – as a community – must rally behind the families and fellow officers," State Senator Kevin Bacon said in a press release.

So you are blaming Black History Month?

How many of the shooters were black? How many of the cops were black?

Cops don’t even make the top ten.

“Common victims include cab drivers and cops. Fifty-one police officers were killed on the job in 2016, according to BLS (not including traffic deaths). That’s a 50% increase from the 34 police homicides in 2015, but still historically low compared to the early 1990s. The 2016 figure includes five Dallas police officers who were fatally shot that July by a gunman who said he was upset by police shootings of black men.”

We get your point———but when those deaths occur there are not usually people who consider it good news.

When cops die,some cheer.

WTH is happening?

The takeover of our nation.

Destroy law enforcement so that anarchy reins on the streets. Then the people will demand a NEW government and destruction of the OLD government.

Unfortunately, that NEW government will be a dictatorially run Socialist Caliphate and the instant it takes over, all those who helped 'overthrow' their own government will be lined up and shot.

The new government would never trust people that turn traitor so easily.

When the Saint Louis County officer was shot, the procession was about the same..people were pulling over from Godfrey, Illinois to South Saint Louis county, just to pay their respects. I knew then most people are NOT down with the Obama-CNN-Hillary-Democrat vision despite how hard they try and tell us America is a left country..

Serving warrants seems to be particularly dangerous. I think the RoboCop would be a great idea.

Is this Westerville place a ghetto area?
