A kid I went to grade school with grew up to become a Mayfield Village cop (right next to Mayfield Hts). The Village cops were chasing a flasher one day when the Hts cops joined the chase. The Hts cops started shooting as they approached a roadblock, missed and killed the Village cop.

This was in 1979. The only article I could find online was a law enforcement site, that claimed the flasher reportedly shot at them. But, I don't recall anything like that back then. And the flasher was only charged with involuntary manslaughter, so that should tell you everything.
