A New Jersey police officer was shot and killed in his car after responding to an armed robbery call at a Walgreen's pharmacy early on Sunday, officials said.
Jersey City police officer Melvin Santiago was shot in the head by a suspected robber while still sitting in his police vehicle, Mayor Steven Fulop said in a statement. Santiago was transported to the Jersey City Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.
"Today was a horrible day for Jersey City," Fulop said. "Melvin was an officer who represented everything one would want to see in a police officer."
