A police officer in Greenville, S.C., was fatally shot Friday while serving a warrant, officials said, further increasing what has been a sharp rise in the number of law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty this year.

“We lose, we hurt, we ache, we feel this,” Ken Miller, chief of the Greenville police, said Friday. “Our community will too. Nobody wants to lose their officers.”

Officers were “serving a warrant on a self-admitted gang member” at about 12:20 p.m. when the shooting occurred, Miller said during a news briefing Friday. This man ran away when he saw the officers, and as they chased him, the man turned and opened fire at them, hitting one officer multiple times, Miller said.

"A police officer in Greenville, South Carolina, was fatally shot Friday after attempting to interview a "self-admitted" gang member who fled and later killed himself, the police chief said. As officers approached the man, Deontea Mackey, 17, to interview him about a weapon purchase, he ran, Greenville Police Chief Ken Miller said. Miller initially said officers were serving a warrant but he later corrected himself."

Officer Allen Jacobs, 28, was struck multiple times.
Police at the scene "performed CPR on our officer, the CPR was unsuccessful and he was declared deceased at the hospital," Miller said.
Jacobs' gun remained in his holster, still snapped in place, the chief said.

And that is why cops will point a gun at a suspect occasionally.
