<p>Two suspects were detained hours later.</p>
<p>The shooting happened during a traffic check near Kusel at about 4.20am local time, police in Kaiserslautern said.</p>
<p>The officers radioed that shots were being fired, spokesman Bernhard Christian Erfort told n-tv television.</p>
<p>But reinforcements who arrived at the scene were unable to help the 24-year-old woman and 29-year-old man.</p>
<p>Mr Erfort said he did not know whether the officers had seen something particular about the assailants’ vehicle that they wanted to check or whether it was just a routine check.</p>
<p>German news agency dpa, citing unidentified security sources, said that the officers reported finding dead game in the car before the shooting started.</p>
<p>But what exactly happened remained unclear, as did a possible motive for the shooting.</p>
<p>Police called on local drivers not to pick up hitchhikers in the Kusel area as they hunted for the perpetrators there and in neighbouring Saarland state.</p>
<p>Later on Monday, police said they had arrested a suspect for whom they had put out a wanted notice.</p>
<p>The 38-year-old man from the region was apprehended in Sulzbach, about 37 kilometres (more than 20 miles) from the scene of the shooting.</p>
<p>Police said he did not give any information on the case after his arrest at around 5pm local time.</p>
<p>A second suspect, a 32-year-old man, was also detained.</p>
<p>Investigators were working to determine whether he had anything to do with the shooting.</p>
<p>They said they were continuing to look for anyone else who may have been involved.</p>
<p>The younger officer killed in Monday’s incident was still studying at a police academy, the GdP police union said.</p>
<p>“Regardless of the motive, this crime is reminiscent of an execution and shows that the police risk their lives for our security every day,” interior minister Nancy Faeser tweeted.</p>
<p>She said “we will do everything” to catch the perpetrators.</p>
