The police officer was lying face down on the ground when the man standing over him pointed a gun at the back of his head and fired a single shot.

Kashina Harper, a clerk at the St. Louis-area store where Sunday’s fatal shooting happened, told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch she was one of the first people to reach North County Police Cooperative Officer Michael Langsdorf and grabbed his radio to call for help.

“I’m the one who tried to save that man,” the 34-year-old said Monday. “I went to his walkie-talkie. I said, ‘A police is down. Somebody shot him. 6250 Page. Can you please hurry up?’”
