According to police, as the officer pulled over the vehicle the driver fired several shots at the him. A second officer returned fire, but the suspects were able to get away.
The injured officer was rushed to University Medical Center where he is listed in critical condition.
Police are now looking for the occupants of the car. They describe the vehicle as a gold compact car, possibly a Saturn or Honda,with tinted windows and yellow writing on the rear of the vehicle.
Police are warning the public to call 911 if they have any information on this case, but to be cautious because the suspects are believed to be armed and dangerous.
Chief Jerry Dyer told KSEE 24 News that he has every patrol unit in the city looking for the suspects.

The last information I heard was that officer is in critical condition, and that the Police have found the vehicle the suspects were driving. No one is in custody at this time.
MS-13?
Islamism until demonstrated otherwise.
Did they call the cop a jew and go off on an anti- semite tirade first? If not then nothing to report here.
"...They describe the vehicle as a gold compact car, possibly a Saturn or Honda,with tinted windows and yellow writing on the rear..."
If I had to hazard a guess I would say the vehicle also had a "coffee can" exhaust system, graphics in the windows saying Baad Boyyzz or something equally absurd, spinner rims, and rear drums because they didn't want to upgrade to all disc brakes. Just my theory, of course.

Ya think?
Not again.
Prayers for this officer--I hope he pulls through.
The original stop was for no license plates. When the vehicle stopped, six shots were fired at the officer. He was hit three times, once in the leg, and twice in the upper body. His body armor was not effective. Another officer at the scene returned fire. The car turned out to be stolen.
No description of the suspects was given during this latest report.
Hard to figure out from the articles, but it sounds like the officers were on motorcycles.
They should hang the bastards who did this.
I suppose you saw that this scum is connected in some way to the disappearance of that poor woman. (whose name escapes me of course! ) The officer is hanging in there still, and my prayers are with him.
"In critical condition for 30 days after he was shot, Nieto survived because of "God's miraculous hand," Dyer said."
"He was not able to continue as a police officer, but he was able to continue with his life. Thank you for the service and sacrifice that almost cost you your life. God bless you," Dyer said.
