1 San Diego officer shot and killed, another in surgery
SAN DIEGO (AP) — Authorities say one of the two police officers who were shot in a San Diego neighborhood has died, and a suspect is in custody.
Police Chief Shelly Zimmerman said the two officers, both members of the department’s gang unit, reported that they were making a stop shortly before 11 p.m. Almost immediately afterward, they called for assistance.
Other officers in the area arrived quickly and found that both officers had been shot, Zimmerman said.
One of the officers suffered multiple gunshot wounds to the the upper body, Zimmerman said. He was placed in a squad car and rushed to the hospital, where he died, she said.
The other officer was undergoing surgery and police are hopeful that he will survive, according to the chief.
The paper says police flooded the area in search of suspects, while residents were urged to stay inside.
Police spokesmen did not immediately return calls for further comment, but the department says in a Twitter posting that one suspect was in custody and other possible suspects were being sought.
The shooting comes with law officers around the country on alert following the killing of officers in Dallas and Baton Rouge, Louisiana, this month.
