Fatal Incident Summary
Offender: No Info
Location: NY   USA   Fri. Aug. 21, 1931
Summary: Patrolman Edwin Churchill and Patrolman Walter Webb were shot and killed by three robbery suspects in the Bronx.

Patrolman Webb was escorting the paymaster of a fur company deliver the payroll to a factory on the 700 block of 133rd Street. As he and the paymaster began to exit the car the two subjects approached with guns drawn and ordered them both to put their hands up. Patrolman Webb was then shot as he reached for his service weapon. The men then stole the payroll and the paymaster's car and fled.

The suspects fled at a high rate of speed until they encountered Patrolman Churchill at the intersection of Boston Road and 169th Street. They exchanged shots with Patrolman Churchill, striking in the abdomen, before they continued fleeing. They were eventually stopped 12 miles away after a long chase in which hundreds of round were fired. Two innocent children were shot and killed by the suspects during the chase.

All three suspects were shot and killed after the vehicle was stopped.

Patrolman Churchill was a U.S. Army veteran of WWI. He was survived by his wife.p
