"Memphis Officials Call for Tougher Sentences After Cop-Killing Suspect Released from Jail"
Memphis officials are calling for tougher sentences following the death of police officer Joseph McKinney, who was killed in a shootout with two teens, one of whom had been arrested on weapons charges and released without bond. The suspect, 18-year-old Jaylen Lobley, was shot and killed by police, while a second officer was injured and a third grazed by a bullet. Officials are advocating for stricter gun laws and harsher sentences in response to rising crime in the city, with Senator Marsha Blackburn criticizing bail reform policies. Tributes have poured in for McKinney, with the Memphis Police Department erecting a memorial around his patrol car.
