St. Louis police officer, the 8th shot since June, dies from his injuries

According to ABC news

A St. Louis police officer who was shot while responding to a call Saturday has died, marking the latest round of summer violence in the Gateway City.

Officer Tamarris Bohannon suffered a head wound when he was shot while responding to a late-afternoon call involving a gunman, St. Louis Police Commissioner John Hayden told reporters Saturday.

Bohannon, who was taken to an area hospital in critical condition, died Sunday.

“It is with the heaviest of hearts that we report that our critically injured officer has died,” the St. Louis Police Department said in a statement on social media. “We cannot express how much we appreciate the hospital staff who continuously treated both officers for their injuries.”

Bohannon was the eighth St. Louis officer shot since June, Hayden said. He had been a member of the department for more than three and a half years, according to officials.
