Apparent heart attack kills TPD officer, 43
A Tucson police officer died early Wednesday morning of an apparent heart attack, police said.
Officer Henry Fung, 43, died two days after he volunteered to be shocked with a stun gun during a training class Monday, but police say his death was not related to the class.
Physicians at the hospital where he died confirmed there was no relation between his death and the stun-gun exercise, said Sgt. Maria Hawke, a Tucson Police Department spokeswoman.
Fung had been a police officer for more than six years after starting as a civilian crime scene specialist with the department, Hawke said.
He was a patrol officer who worked downtown.

Robber fails twice in 2 east-side tries
Tucson police are looking for a man who tried to rob two east-side businesses Tuesday.
The first attempt was late morning at Compass Bank at 7880 E. Broadway, Sgt. Maria Hawke, a police spokeswoman, said in a news release. He walked up to a teller and asked for money, but became frustrated when the teller didn't understand.
The man left without any money and went to a nearby Wingstop near Broadway and South Pantano Road, announcing that he was robbing the restaurant. The employees refused to give him money and he left.
The man is described as 5 feet 5 inches tall, 170-180 pounds with a medium build, dirty blond hair, green eyes, a mustache and a goatee. He was last seen wearing a black shirt, black pants, white tennis shoes, and a red and white "Indians" baseball cap. Anyone with information is asked to call 911 or 88-CRIME.
