LIVERPOOL, N.Y. (AP) — Authorities say two law enforcement officers were fatally shot while looking for a driver who fled a traffic stop in upstate New York. Authorities said Monday the shooter was also killed in an exchange of gunfire with police. The shootings took place shortly after 8 p.m. Sunday in Liverpool, about 6 miles north of Syracuse. Two Syracuse police officers unsuccessfully attempted to stop a suspicious vehicle but tracked it to Liverpool. The officers requested assistance from the sheriff’s office. Prosecutors say a sheriff’s deputy was shot in the rear of the house and a city officer was struck during a separate exchange of gunfire.
