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.

The FLIR doesn’t do much good in the heat of the day!

Well, I suppose AK47s are just as lethal as 9mm then. I guess the bad guys need better “assault” weapons.

The standard AK-47 or AKM fires a 7.62 × 39 mm round with a muzzle velocity of 710 metres per second (2329 ft/s).

A 9mm has a muzzle velocity muzzle velocity of 1160 ft/s (353 m/s).

The elongated, pointed AK-47 round can penatrate body armor, but the rounded bullet of a 9mm can't. Both are lethal with a well-placed shot. The mortality rate among victims of a 9mm assault is higher than the mortality rate of an AK-47 assault if the 9mm shooter has better aim. A slingshot to the head has been lethal since David slew Goliath.

Guns don't murder. People do.

-Miami Dade Director talking on Fox right now

Director: all 3 injured cops were shot in the legs

[RDTF]

They believe their intel is good that he is still in the area

[roses of sharon]

Did you catch how they know that he bought guns in March?

[michigander]

No kidding?

Are they talking about the fog in Washington state, the bite I had on the right corner rod or the police officers in Florida???

Interesting how you can run the plate on Publicdata.com and zip, zero, nada...no records found...

Happens a lot when things like this happen...Just to see if they got it right...

I believe more than half the time licence information like that is inncorrect...

So much for being vigilant...not like he’s wearing diapers and driving all the way to Houston, or something like that...

They’ll get him...

[RDTF]

I don’t think I heard that

[michigander]

They believe their intel is good that he is still in the area

That's encouraging. Hope they're correct.

[RDTF]

he also said that the female officer will require more surgeries on her legs, and they aren’t sure if she will regain full use of them again.

Are they talking about the fog in Washington state, the bite I had on the right corner rod or the police officers in Florida???

It was a fish that got away in the Washington fog and was later found in Florida. Slow news day.

I'd feel a heckuva lot less safe in Chicago, or Detroit, or New Yawk. For that matter New Orleans makes us look like Kennesaw, GA. So lay off, okay?

FWIW, I wouldn't set foot in any of those cities these days, excluding Kennesaw. Feel better now?

[mewzilla]

I even teach high school in the inner city, and have for 12 of my 18 years as a teacher.

And for that you have my respect and admiration.

interesting:

One officer told NBC 6 that police spotted a man with a ticket to Spain who “could’ve been the suspect’s twin.” The man’s identification proved otherwise.

Fox: news conference coming up shortly - they have heard there is real news
