A police officer has been shot to death in Florida, authorities say, hours after two cops were killed in Brooklyn. The shooting occurred at around 3am (8am UK time) in Tarpon Springs, about 30 miles (48km) from Tampa. A suspect has been taken into custody, The Pinellas County Sheriff's Office said in a statement. The suspect fled the scene in a vehicle and crashed into a pole and another vehicle. He was then apprehended by police. People have started leaving flowers to the Tarpon Springs Police Department in memory of the victim, the local WTSP TV said. The circumstances of the incident were not clear, and a news conference was scheduled later on Sunday. But the shooting comes at a time of heightened tensions between officers and communities across America over police tactics.
