BOSTON — In the wake of the ambush on Dallas police officers Thursday night, communities and police departments across the country showed support for the victims.
But that hasn't stopped the violence and the dangers officers face everyday. Officers in other parts of the country were shot in the line of duty as events continued to unfold in Dallas.
Here is information on other shootings that happened Friday.
MISSOURI
A police officer was shot in the neck near St. Louis, Mo., according to FOX2 News.
The Ballwin Police Officer was shot in the neck during a traffic stop and a suspect was taken into custody after a search, FOX2 reports.
The officer was taken to a local hospital with a gunshot wound to the neck, The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. There was no word on his condition.
GEORGIA
Authorities say a man opened fire on a police officer investigating a report of a damaged vehicle in south Georgia and was wounded when an officer returned fire.
Valdosta Police Chief Brian Childress says the officer also was wounded, but both men are expected to survive. He says the officer was shot "multiple times" but is going to be fine.
The suspect was not identified. Childress would not discuss a possible motive.
Georgia Bureau of Investigation spokesman Scott Dutton says one of the shots hit the officer in the abdomen, just below his protective vest. Other shots hit the officer's vest. Dutton said it's early in the investigation, but there's nothing to indicate that the shooting was related to the ambush of police officers in Dallas.
