Minneapolis police officer Jamal Mitchell was killed in an ambush while responding to a shooting call, leaving a third person gravely injured. He had previously been honored for heroic actions.
Mitchell, a father engaged to be married, was remembered by Mayor Jacob Frey as a hero who sacrificed his life to protect others, with his name forever honored in Minneapolis.
One of Mitchell's previous heroic actions involved rescuing an elderly couple from a house fire. His quick actions with another officer prevented a more tragic outcome.
The tragic incident in Minneapolis comes after a similar loss in Burnsville three months prior, where two officers and a firefighter were killed while responding to a domestic violence call.
