   MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — A police officer was fatally shot during a   
   traffic stop in Memphis Saturday night and a manhunt is underway   
   for the suspect, Tennessee police officials said.   
      
   Memphis Police Director Toney Armstrong said during a news   
   conference that police received a call at about 9:15 p.m.   
   Saturday about an officer being shot. Armstrong said the officer   
   was conducting a traffic stop when he was shot multiple times.   
   The officer died at a hospital.   
      
   Armstrong did not identify the officer, pending notification of   
   next of kin. But in a later statement police described the   
   officer as a 33-year-old male who had been transported to the   
   hospital in critical condition after suffering "multiple gunshot   
   wounds."   
      
   Armstrong said police have not made an arrest and the suspect is   
   on the run. He said police are using all available resources to   
   find the shooter.   
      
   It is the third Memphis officer to be fatally shot in slightly   
   more than four years. Officer Tim Warren was killed while   
   responding to a shooting at a downtown Memphis hotel in July   
   2011. In December 2012, Officer Martoiya Lang was killed while   
   serving a warrant.   
      
   Armstrong said officers are grieving, adding that "this is just   
   a reminder of how dangerous" the job is.   
      
   "Sadly to say, we've been here before," he said.   
      
   Memphis Mayor A.C. Wharton Jr. told reporters Saturday that the   
   incident "speaks volumes about the inherent danger of police   
   work."
