Are you saying that any police officer killed in the line of duty by shooting is inherently notable, even without multiple reliable and independent sources showing that the coverage is more than mere one time news coverage, but an equally non-publicized policeman death in a car wreck isn't notable? Is there a guideline stating that? You might wish to try and add that to the notability criteria at  and see how far it gets. Why would a policemen who is shot be more inherently notable than a soldier shot or blown up in a war, or an aviator shot down or a sailor killed in a war? Seems very point of view to make the life of a policeman more precious or his death more notable than the other cases
