UPDATE: Depending on the veracity of the post directly below this one, this may be the sixth shooting in under 72 hours involving the police. Be very very careful out there. No relief in sight from the heat. Or the assholes.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery for the officers.
UPDATE: Ongoing manhunt according to Shaved. His top comment section has a play by play of the past hour or so.
