The second officer, PC Nicola Hughes, injured during an incident in Tameside this morning has sadly died.
ACC Garry Shewan, said: "It is with great sadness that we announce the death of a second police officer following an incident in Tameside this morning.
"A long and dark shadow has been cast across Greater Manchester and my thoughts are with the officers' family, friends and colleagues.
"We will be doing everything we can to support them over the coming days and weeks."
