An Arkansas policeman was killed when he was hit by a vehicle in a convenience store parking lot and two suspects are in custody, police said. The Associated Press (AP) reported: Pea Ridge officer Kevin Apple died Saturday after being struck by the vehicle that matched the description of a vehicle sought by police, according to police Lt. Michael Lisenbee. The vehicle was parked at gas pumps at the store about 155 miles (249 kilometers) northwest of Little Rock, when Apple and another officer approached it to speak to the occupants, Lisenbee said. “As a result of the contact the officers were attempting to make with that vehicle, an altercation erupted,” Lisenbee explained. The driver reportedly rammed into a patrol car, then fled the scene, hitting and killing Apple, according to Lisenbee.
