A Missouri officer fatally shot while responding to a 911 call was sent to the wrong house — about 15 miles away from where he and two other officers were supposed to be, authorities said.
Clinton Police Officer Christopher Ryan Morton, 30, was shot and killed when he and two other officers responded to a 911 call in which two women were heard screaming in the background. None of the women directly spoke to the operator.
“The 911 call that came in was somehow attached to that [Clinton] address,” Lowe said in a Wednesday afternoon, according to the Kansas City Star.
The officers were sent to an address in Clinton, even though the home that the officers should have been responding to was in Windsor, Mo., about 15 miles away, Missouri Highway Patrol Sgt. Bill Lowe said. The dispatcher mistakenly led the three officers to the home unrelated to the call.
