CUTLER BAY, Fla. (AP) – A gunman opened fire on four Miami-Dade County police officers during a traffic stop Thursday, killing one and injuring the other three. Police killed the suspect hours later, authorities said.
Dozens of officers from police departments across South Florida had been searching for 12 hours for the suspect, who investigators identified as Shawn Sherwin Labeet, 25. Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Alvarez said Labeet was found shortly before midnight Thursday in a Pembroke Pines apartment complex about 30 miles north of the initial shooting scene.
“There was an exchange of gunfire and the subject was shot and killed,” Alvarez said.
He said the family of the dead officer was informed of Labeet’s death.

EDIT TO ADD: Officer critically wounded in shootout dies
LUBBOCK, Texas — A West Texas police officer who was shot in the face during a weekend gun battle died Wednesday, a day before his two brothers intended to take him off life support to fulfill a pact the three officers made years ago.
Cpl. Abel Marquez, 32, was the third Odessa police officer to die after responding to a domestic disturbance call Saturday. His death was confirmed by spokesman Greg Bruce of University Medical Center in Lubbock, where Marquez was taken shortly after the shooting.
And it is with great sadness that I received the news that a 3rd officer in Odessa has died and I had to make this addendum, and again, my sympathies to the officers families as well as their Brother Officers, this hurts all involved…
I am sad to say that the shooter in this case is in custody, he will surely face the death penalty here in Texas and he will pay for his crimes, but he is still breathing at this moment…
What has me so terribly concerned is how we’ve recently seen officers going down, suffering multiple casualties and deaths, from one shooter incidents, I pray this is not an emerging trend of some sort…

This is twice in the past few months that a cop killer in Florida has been blown away..and saved the taxpayers a lot of money. Works for me.
To wake up and read this, you just know it’s going to be a good day.
