A firefighter was shot and killed by an off-duty police officer early Sunday morning in downtown Kansas City after a party celebrating the firefighter’s recent wedding.
Kansas City Fire Department spokesman James Garrett confirmed that six-year veteran firefighter Anthony Bruno of Fire Station 17 was shot about 2:30 a.m.
The officer who shot him was in uniform but working another job off-duty when he responded to a reported assault on a cab driver at 12th and Wyandotte streets, Kansas City police said. The officer found a suspect near 13th Street and Baltimore Avenue. When the officer approached, the man started to attack him, police said.
The officer, who was not immediately identified, told investigators that he feared for his life. He shot Bruno in the chest.
Police said the officer performed CPR on Bruno, who was a third-generation member of the fire department. He was taken to a hospital, where he later died.
The officer also was taken to a hospital with serious injuries.
Garrett said Fire Chief Paul Berardi had been with Bruno’s family since the incident.

What a terrible accident.
Watch Hollywood jump on this.
My God that's depressing.
Going to college and seeing what happens on university ave I can tell you alcohol was probably tied in somehow. Fights happen here all the time when people are drunk... What a shame though, truly depressing given it was right after his wedding...
i wouldn't put it past the policeman to have been cutting it close to life or death; to be a firefighter, you gotta be in tip-top shape. a burly fit dude who's drunk and most likely angry is not something i'd mess with.
it was a shame, but accidents do happen.
