I agree with wow, "The officer was shot there and later died of his wounds" is the best description of the events. [rant]The issue is not whether the act constituted murder under our laws, which it clearly did. The issue is whether or not that particular location deserves full credit for hosting the action, as in "Ann Bolyn was executed in the Tower of London." In this instance, the sentence implies that the act of killing was carried out to completion in a single place. Likewise, to say "So and So was murdered on this very spot" or words to that effect implies to me that the victim died there. The news reporter was sensationalizing the location. [/end rant]
