## Transcript

A suspect is in custody according to WREG following the fatal shooting of Memphis police officer Sean Bolton on Saturday night. The arrest comes after the Commercial Appeal Memphis reported police were surrounding an apartment complex on Sunday morning and pleading with an unidentified suspect to surrender. Bolton was shot during what police said was a traffic stop. Witnesses told WHBQ multiple suspects fled the scene before a citizen notified of the shooting. The officer had multiple gunshot wounds and died after being taken to the hospital in critical condition according to WREG. Sadly to say we've been here before and it doesn't get any easier.

This is a very difficult. Not only for me as Director but for all the officers that you see standing behind me and a difficult time for our city as well.
