Police officer deaths

The killing of two El Monte police officers comes as the effort to recall the Los Angeles DA gains enough signatures to get on a November ballot.

A third victim, the wife and mother of the two men who were killed, remains in critical condition at a local hospital.

Isaac Eames, who served as an Onondaga County deputy sheriff in New York, was found dead in his home on Monday.

Nassau County Sheriff Bill Leeper said authorities used Deputy Joshua Moyer's handcuffs when they took Patrick McDowell into custody.

"This guy is dangerous. If you're in a home and he breaks into your home and you have a gun, blow him out the door," the Nassau County sheriff said.

Williams, 29, is believed to be armed and dangerous.

The suspect has a criminal past and was arrested in 2016 for allegedly strangling a pregnant woman and vandalizing her vehicle.

A GoFundMe drive for Zackari Parrish, the officer killed in a Colorado shooting on Sunday, has raised more than $160,000.

The number gunfire deaths among police officers is down in 2017, a 34 percent decline from last year's unusually high numbers.

Officer deaths are up 18 percent from this time last year.

Bulletproof vests and better medical care are saving officers who would have been killed in the past.
