An Ohio police officer is shot and killed in the line of duty.

It happened late Monday night in the Cleveland suburb of Elyria. Patrolman James Kerstetter was responding to a call from a mother who said a neighbor exposed himself and kicked in a window. That suspect was also shot to death. His name isn't being released, but a family member has identified him as Robert Palmer,58.

Officer Kerstetter was on the force 15 years.
