(CNN)Minutes before Officer Thomas Cottrell was killed, police received an ominous call.
A woman in Danville, Ohio, said her ex-boyfriend took off with his weapons Sunday night and was looking to kill an officer, the Knox County Sheriff's Office said.
Authorities scrambled to warn Cottrell, who was a sixth of Danville's police department.
But less than 30 minutes later, Cottrell's body was found behind the Danville Municipal Building, the Sheriff's Office said. His weapon had been stolen, and his police car was missing.
