Other officers may have also been hurt but only with minor injuries.
At least one officer has been transported to Jackson Memorial Hospital.
After the shooting, one suspect barricaded himself inside a building at 280th Street and Southwest 143RD Court.
The other suspect took off in a White Honda Accord and began driving on the Turnpike and led police on a short chase before he bailed out at 222nd Street and SW 110th Avenue.
That suspect, described as a chubby white man with long black hair remains on the loose.
Broward County police agencies have been alerted to the shooting of the Miami-Dade Officers.

Turnpike is shutdown right now. My wife is on the turnpike says she’s never seen so much police.
Everybody in Miami is arab looking, and they all speak spanish.
One of the two guys had a long beard. Not common down here for obvious reasons.
Rifle used automatic type Homeland security helo in the area
The car has been found shot up.
Schools here are closed for Roshashanna.
Rosie O'Donald? (sorry, I couldn't resist)
Maybe it’s one of Yahweh ben Yahweh’s former goons.

I don't recall that but it could be.
They have the perp run down into a house and the cops have it surrounded
The area was becoming decent, then Hurricane Andrew came and made a mess of it. Thats about when I left the area as well.
It is actually a fairly "white" (70+%)part of town, hispanics being less than 40% of the population, which in Miami, is pretty low :)
Still, it is considered a rather white trashy area.
MSNBC has it...you should see the swarm of cops.
