CLEVELAND — An off-duty Cleveland police officer shot and killed an aggravated robbery suspect shortly after midnight today in the 7700 block of Kinsman Road.

Police spokesman Lt. Thomas Stacho said the eight-year officer was robbed at gunpoint after being forced to stop his personal vehicle at a makeshift roadblock set up by one or more suspects in the single passable westbound lane of Kinsman Road, which is temporarily a one-way street westbound while it is under construction between East 79th Street and Grand Avenue.

During the robbery, the officer and one of the suspects exchanged gunfire; the suspect was killed in the gunfire. At least two gunshots hit the officer's car; he was not injured, Stacho said.
