FBI Statistics from 2018 document that offenders used firearms to kill 51 of 55 victim officers in cases where a weapon was used. The average age of the officers who were killed in felonies was 37 years old. Of that number nationwide, two were killed during traffic stops and one was killed while performing traffic control.
