At least one suspect was in custody in Cleveland early Friday after a veteran police officer was shot and killed Thursday night, according to reports. Killed in the shooting was Officer James Skernivitz, 53, who had been with the department since 1998. It was unclear if the arrested suspect was believed to have pulled the trigger, police were questioning several suspects in all, the news station reported. “Cleveland lost one of its finest in the line of duty,” police Chief Calvin Williams said. “He was out doing what all police officers do – trying to protect the people of our city – and he gave his life.” The chief described the shooting victim as an “excellent” member of the force. The police officer had been riding in a patrol car that was fired upon several times, with the car crashing, sources told the station. The officer died of his wounds after being transported to a hospital. #RIP
