GLADSTONE, Mo. (AP) — A police officer and a suspect have both been shot near Kansas City, Missouri.

Multiple media reports say the shooting happened about 10:30 p.m. Sunday. The officer involved is with the Gladstone, Missouri, police department.

No further information has been released, but the Kansas City Fraternal Order of Police said on Twitter that the officer is expected to survive.

A message left with police was not immediately returned. A Fraternal Order of Police official declined comment.

The shooting came on the same day a San Antonio officer was fatally shot, and a St. Louis officer was critically wounded in what the police chief called an “ambush” attack by someone who pulled alongside the officer’s SUV.
