Police Officer Paul McCulloch was shot and killed after responding to a manhunt of a suspect who had shot and wounded another officer earlier in the day.
The earlier incident occurred when the officer had stopped a suspicious car that contained a man and the woman whom he had abducted earlier in the day.
When Officer McCulloch reported to work, he and his canine began searching for the suspect. During the search he encountered the man and was shot and killed at the Pruitt-Igoe Housing Development in the 2100 block of Dickson Street. The suspect attempted to flee but was shot and wounded by other officers before being taken into custody.
Officer McCulloch was a Korean War veteran and had served with the St. Louis Police Department for nine years. He is survived by his wife and four children, one of whom later became an officer with his department.
