Two former Ocean City Police officers​ died in the line of duty during two separate shooting incidents over the weekend, department officials said.

Officer Christopher Reese, 30, worked for the Virginia Beach Police Department for about three years when he and a second officer, Cameron Girvin, 25, were killed Friday night during a confrontation after a traffic stop, authorities said.

Officers responded about midnight to a report of gunshots fired in the 100 block of West Wanda Drive, according to the WFAA report that attributed the account to Garland police. When an officer arrived, the suspect immediately shot him while the officer was in a police vehicle, police said.
