Officer Killed

Investigators are putting together the evidence they've been able to find from yesterday morning's shootout that claimed the life of a15-year veteran Ontario Provincial Police officer.

Constable Vu Pham was shot in a gun battle that broke out after he'd pulled over a vehicle near Winthrop, north of London.

Witnesses say the gunman and officer were firing at each other from across a rural road, and that as many as 20 shots were exchanged.

But OPP Commissioner Julian Fantino says the officer was "immediately incapacitated'' in the gunfight and died later in the hospital.

The suspect, who was also hospitalized, is believed to be in his 70s, but his condition isn't known.
