UPDATE: TEEN CONFESSES IN FLA. COP KILLING

Tragic

 A 16-year-old boy has admitted shooting a St Petersburgh cop and will now be charged with first-degree-murder.  
It is not known yet, whether he will be tried as an adult.
Crawford, who was married, eligible for retirement and the father of an adult daughter, was pronounced dead at a hospital.
His death marks a month of tragedy for the force which has already seen two officers — Jeffrey A. Yaslowitz and Thomas Baitinger — slain as they helped serve a warrant on a man with a long criminal history. Their killer died in the siege.
Prior to that, the St. Petersburgh Police department hadn't had an officer killed in the line of duty in more than 30 years.
Crisis counselors have been called to help officers in the department.
