A young police officer died while he was on duty early Thursday morning in Atlantic City. The question is -- how?
The patrolman's death was confirmed by the Mayor's office and the city's police chief was expected to release the officer's name later in the day and explain what happened.
The last AC officer who died in the line of duty was Patrolman Thomas McMeekin, Jr, who was hit by a bus in 2005 while directing traffic.
