KCK Police Capt. Robert Melton is remembered as a proud soldier and proud police officer

Another Police Officer killed. This time it was the Chief of Police in Kansas City, Kansas. I'm not sure if this is the same shooting in KCK, but it's worth reading about the Police Officers life and the fact he was in the Army National Guard with a deployment to Afghanistan.

At times during his career with the Kansas City, Kan., Police Department, Robert David Melton was called upon to do “knock and walks” at Juniper Gardens in order to patrol and smooth over any trouble at the public housing complex.
On Tuesday, a disturbance at Juniper Gardens triggered a chain of events that would take Melton’s life.

Melton, 46, was shot to death by an unidentified assailant at 22nd Street and Haskell Avenue. The shooting claimed the life of a 17-year law enforcement professional, a solider and a father who was remembered warmly by his friends and acquaintances on Tuesday.
