Missouri officer described being unable to move before dying

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A dying Missouri officer said over the police radio that he had been shot multiple times and didn't think he could make it through the window of a home from which two other wounded officers managed to escape.

Clinton Officer Christopher Ryan Morton is heard saying "I don't know if I can move my feet" after gunfire erupted Tuesday night when he and the other wounded officers were sent to the wrong house while responding to a 911 call made from another town, according to captured police scanner communications. The suspected gunman, James Waters, barricaded himself inside the home after the initial hail of gunfire and then fired at the dozens of officers who rushed to the scene, refusing to let them tend to Morton, The Kansas City Star reported.

After Morton stopped responding, an officer pleaded, "Morton, stay with us. Stay with us, Morton."

By the time law enforcement made it back into the home hours later, Morton and Waters were dead.
