What at first seemed like a case of a Norwalk police officer brutally slain on duty progressively turned into a tragedy with more questions than answers... Officer Matthew Morelli was on routine patrol in the south end of Norwalk early Friday when he radioed headquarters that he was getting out of his cruiser to investigate some suspicious activity in a secluded parking lot. A backup officer arriving WITHIN A MINUTE of Morelli's last transmission found his body. He had been shot, his cruiser nearby. A massive manhunt ensued throughout the day as police searched for a suspect and struggled with their own loss. "Nobody knows what really happened at this point," said police union president Bill Curwen. "The not knowing is what's eating a hole in everybody"... Police spokesman Lt. Paul Resnick reassured neighbors that they are not in danger...

"The family is distraught, as may be expected"...
