Summary:	Officer Michael Langsdorf was shot and killed after responding to a call at 6250 Page Avenue involving a man attempting to cash a fraudulent check at 4:40 pm. He was shot several minutes after contacting the suspect at the business. The man who shot him was taken into custody. ======================================================================== Off. Langsdorf had responded around 4:30 p.m. to a report that subject(Meeks) was trying to pass a bad check at Clay's Market on Page Boulevard and Stephen Jones Avenue in north St. Louis Couny. When the veteran officer confronted Meeks, it turned into a physical fight, police say. Off. Langsdorf was on top of Meeks, but the ex-con was able to pull a handgun from his waistband and hit Langsdorf in the side of the head. With the officer stunned and face down on the floor, Meeks got to his feet and stood over him with the gun. Meeks pointed the gun at Officer Langsdorf's head and fired one shot. The bullet hit him in his neck, ricocheted off his spinal cord and exited through his chest. The whole incident was captured on surveillance footage. Meeks fled while people in the store rushed to the officer's aid. One woman took his police radio and called for help.
Disposition:	Meeks confessed to shooting Langsdorf. Investigators believe he moved in January to St. Louis from the Raleigh, North Carolina, area where he had racked up a long criminal history that included violence. He is being charged with first-degree murder, armed criminal action, resisting arrest and unlawful possession of a firearm, all felonies. He is being held without bail.
