Police officer killed in southern Russia

ROSTOV-ON-DON, Russia - One Russian police officer has been shot dead and another wounded in the restive southern region of Ingushetia, Interior Ministry officials said Monday.
An unidentified gunman shot a squadron commander with a sniper's rifle late Sunday in the city of Nazran, the regional Interior Ministry said. Another police officer was wounded Sunday after a police station was riddled with bullets fired from a passing car near the village of Yandare, it said.
The predominantly Muslim regions of Ingushetia and Dagestan see frequent attacks on police and other violence, some of it a spillover from neighboring Chechnya.
