MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (AP) A South Carolina police officer killed in an ambush by a man during a domestic violence call lay wounded outside a home for more than an hour before he got help, authorities said.
Myrtle Beach police said Officer Jacob Hancher fell between two parked cars and the gunman kept firing at officers, creating more confusion.
Even after the shooting stopped, police decided it was too dangerous and other people might be threatened, choosing to wait more than 50 minutes for a SWAT team and an armored vehicle to check the scene thoroughly, according to a State Law Enforcement Division report on the Oct. 3 shooting.
