WASHINGTON - The number of officers who were killed in 2021 in the United States is the highest on record in the past 20 years, US media outlet Fox News has reported.

This figure includes unprovoked confrontations and premeditated ambushes, said Fox News on Friday, citing data published by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

The trend shows no signs of letting up this year, with six police officers the victims of gun violence over the past two days alone, said the report.

Two police officers were shot Wednesday afternoon in St. Louis. A Milwaukee sheriff's deputy was shot several times during a traffic stop Wednesday evening, and three more police officers were shot in Houston on Thursday, said the report.
