Nice cop in danger shot me (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gendarme

'nice cop' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'danger shot me' is the wordplay.
'shot' is an anagram indicator.
'danger' anagrammed gives 'gendar'.
'gendar'+'me'='GENDARME'

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for gendarme that I've seen before include "French copper" , "An arresting Frenchman?" , "Member of the French police" , "...French fuzz!" , "French policeman has me in danger" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
