A police officer and two women are among four people killed last night in Georgia in a bloody street fire fight.
A 12-year-old boy was also shot in the face during the bloody shooting near the 3600 block of Jervis Court, in Rex, Georgia.
The slain cop was identified as Field Training Officer Henry Laxson, the third officer to be killed in the line of duty in the past month, and the eighth this year.
Officers were responding to multiple reports of a drive-by shooting, gunfire and domestic violence at 8:40pm ET when the fire fight occurred.
Cops were met at the scene by the bloodied boy who managed to direct officers to a residence where the gunman was located.
While police administered first aid on the child, the suspect fired on the officers with a handgun, forcing them to flee to safety.
