Police in Greensboro are searching for suspects who shot and killed an off-duty Greensboro police officer.

A watch commander off-duty officer was shot and killed at the Sheetz gas station on the 3200 block of Sandy Ridge Road, WRAL reports.

Police said both suspects were men in their 20s. One was last seen wearing a black hoodie, black sweatpants, black shoes and a green or brown toboggan. The second suspect was last seen wearing a fur jean jacket, gray sweatpants, and tennis shoes.

According to WRAL, the suspects were last seen driving westbound along I-40 in a black Chevrolet Equinox with NC license plates that read KKA-4432. The vehicle also has a Hertz Car Sales plate on the front.

Greensboro’s police chief became emotional when talking about the veteran officer.

Chief John Thompson said, “He was a loving husband, father, son and brother in this community with 22 years of service to the department.” “We asked our Greensboro PD family to pray for the family of the fallen officer.”

North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper shared a statement overnight pledging his support for the department.

A Blue Alert was issued by the Greensboro Police Department, but it was canceled around 8 p.m. Saturday.

These types of alerts are issued to assist in the apprehension of violent criminals who have killed or seriously injured an officer in the line of duty.

Neither the police department nor the mayor have confirmed whether the suspects were captured.
