One police officer was killed and another was seriously injured in a shooting near the campus of a Georgia university on Tuesday<\/a>, locking down the campus and prompting a manhunt, according to authorities.<\/p>\n

The shooting took place not far from Georgia Southwestern State University, a school in Americus, Georgia, about 150 miles south of Atlanta, officials said.<\/p>\n

Both officers were responding to a call about a domestic dispute at an apartment complex at about 9:30 a.m. Tuesday morning, said Americus Police Chief Mark A. Scott.<\/p>\n

The two officers – one with the Americus Police Department, the other a public safety officer with the school – encountered a suspect outside the apartment complex and were shot there, Scott told reporters during a briefing.<\/p>\n

The Americus officer was killed, while the university police officer was critically injured and flown to Macon, Georgia, for treatment, he said.<\/p>\n

“There are no words to express the pain and the sorrow that we as a family here in Americus feel,” Scott said.<\/p>\n

Law enforcement officials in Georgia said they are seeking Minguel Lembrick as the suspect in the shooting. According to a law enforcement official who asked not to be identified discussing the shooting, Lembrick had been known to police. (Some media accounts also spelled his first name as “Minguell.”)<\/p>\n

\"[ALBANY
[ALBANY POLICE]<\/figcaption><\/figure>A search stretched on for hours Tuesday as officials sought Lembrick, who police say they believe was acting alone during the incident.<\/p>\n

The shooting comes in the waning weeks of 2016, a year that has been deadlier for law enforcement officers than 2015.<\/p>\n

While the number of police officers fatally shot by suspects fell last year – and remains far below what it was in recent decades – that number has spiked again in 2016, fueled in part by a series of ambush attacks in cities like Dallas and Baton Rouge.<\/p>\n

Through Tuesday, 62 officers had been shot and killed this year, up significantly from the 38 officers fatally shot at the same point last year.<\/p>\n

While ambush killings have helped worsen that toll, many officers have been fatally wounded doing what can be considered routine police work – like responding to a domestic call or serving an eviction notice – and officers in Philadelphia, San Antonio and Miami Gardens, Florida, were sitting in their cars.<\/p>\n

University officials, in a statement posted online, urged people to remain sheltered in place due to the shooting.<\/p>\n

“Students, faculty and staff should remain in their present location until further notice,” the school said in an emergency alert.<\/p>\n
