Three of the five police officers killed in the past nine days across the US each leave behind two children. A fourth was a young police academy graduate who was about to hit the streets on her own. Another had joined his department a little over four years ago.

Multiple shots were fired during the incident, and the suspect initially barricaded himself inside the home, police said.
