Updated: December 29th, 2006 02:51 PM EDT

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Walters said Gallegos had a pistol with a laser-sight and two extra ammunition magazines in his pocket.

Before yesterday's shootout, Long Beach police and city officials announced a $75,000 reward for information leading to Gallegos' arrest.

Batts called Gallegos a "known thug" with a rap sheet dating back to 1990, when he was arrested for a firearms violation. He has also been arrested for drug offenses, making terrorist threats and assault with a deadly weapon. He has also been deported three times.

Batts said the wounded officers were doing well.

"Their recovery looks good," he said. "Our prayers are with them. They still have a battle to fight. They have some very serious injuries, but they're up, they're talking."

Anyone interested in making a donation to aid the officers and their families can send them to: Widows and Orphans Fund, Long Beach Police Officers Association, 2865 Temple Ave., Long Beach, Calif. 90755."
