2 Bulgarian police killed by speeding bus carrying migrants

Two Bulgarian police officers were killed early Thursday as they tried to stop a bus containing migrants who had entered the country illegally.
A senior interior ministry official said, the incident occurred at 5 a.m. in the Black Sea city of Burgas after the bus refused to stop at two consecutive border police checkpoints.
The bus with Turkish registration plates was carrying 47 migrants whose nationality has not been disclosed.
The bus had entered a residential area when the police officers halted their car across the road in front of it. The bus rammed the police vehicle, then drove over the top of it before smashing into a bus stop.
The two officers in the car were killed instantly. No other injuries were reported and an investigation into the case has been launched.
So far, no charges against the driver have been brought, but the district prosecutor called the driver’s actions a “conscious, purposeful act”.
