Two Miami-Dade police officers have been injured in a so-called Tactical Operation gone bad in Cutler Bay.

This is currently a developing story that began at SW 281st Street and 143rd Court in Cutler Bay where the two officers were possibly shot, reportedly with an assault rifle.

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.

Remember the DC sniper deal?

Middle aged white guy in a plain white van?

Are we that PC nowadays that we are actually withholding any sort of ethnic description?

Or is the media just that poor at asking proper questions?

OMG....

[woollyone]

agreed...

[mewzilla]

And who rides around with a bullet proof vest on (if that report is even true)?

Have you seen the crime stats for Miami-Dade lately? Heck, I'd wear one before I set foot out the door.

[SE Mom]

Not sure- maybe gang headgear?

[Dog]

Chief Moose is enroute..

[mewzilla]

Are they saying the perp was wearing a vest, the officers, or all of them?

[DCBryan1]

For the cubicle bound, can someone post a live police scanner link please! THX

I was told that if you ever go into miami....don’t ever stop on the streets....you are to stroll through the red lights.....the cops won’t even stop you for it.

I am listening to the local radio station (WIOD) who only breaks into Rush for any updates. wiod.com

Urban Camo “Doo Rag”.

Get down with it man.

It’s dope! (;-))

[Fawn]

Don’t know.....missed the beginning of the story.

[mewzilla]

Miami’s not on my list of places to visit any time soon.

[Fawn]

Is that a muslim thing?

[Dog]

The reporters are amazed at how many police are on scene.....something is up.

[Dog]

Word at the scene...the mayor is there or will be soon.

[Fawn]

It's not part of America anymore. I have no desire to go there...ever....I live like 45 miles from it...

I work with one guy from cuba who lives there. He is the guy who came into our cube and started speaking Spanish. Since I was the only one who could not understand it, he noticed the look on my face and said, "you don't speak Spanish??" I said No...he shook his head and said 'tsk tsk.'

[Milwaukee_Guy]

Watching live, I’m sorry but I see a whole lot of cops standing around at the crime scene.

Get in a car and look for the perp!

Next thing they’ll have a barricade situation and wait four hours to go inside.

Sorry, I had to say that.....

[BurbankKarl]

uh, 4 officers were shot...that would involved a multi county response for the manhunt

[Dog]

Wehner has 3 traffic violations...

He just unloaded on 4 cops...and he has a minor record.

something doesn't add up here.
