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.
This is a developing story so keep checking back here on CBS4.COM for updates

Surfing..found Nancy Grace covering this live- she will be taking the press conf live when it happens..
A baffling series of events...hard to imagine this guy is still in the perimeter.

Sheesh, considering what this one asshole has accomplished, it'll be really interesting to see what happens if the shit really hits the fan in a high population density area.
P.S. How embarrassing to be watching Nancy Grace!
Ya, that 8:15 pm EDT presser got delayed again.
Nitwitness News Team 7 stand up just daid the homeowners were getting restless. Someone was blowing their car horn while he was trying to talk. Then some guy’s car alarm accidently/on purpose went off.

I haven’t had a chance to read all the posts, so forgive me if this has already been said, but this guy is the half brother of Ishmael Labeet, who was one of the guys who killed eight people at the St. Croix resort, Carambola. This was back in ‘72. Guess, this runs in the family
He was cool, he just flew in from Jamaica, said how much his daughter loved being on the force.
Gee, you mean they may actually defy government employees who will not, under any circumstances, be held responsible for their saftey?
p.s. I turned her on cause you did
is that confimed?
Unbelievable, could they have intell that someone in that neighborhood is hiding him? Reporters are speculating that his mom and bro are giving something up in their interrogation.
Yeah. At least that is what the Miami Herald is saying. They have the testimony of his other half brother here is the link

The FLIR doesn’t do much good in the heat of the day!
Really?
No external flash infrared (IR illuminator) light source is required, and the unit may be used in complete darkness or broad daylight. When viewed through the scopes, heat-emitting objects such as humans and recently-operated vehicles stand out dramatically against their surroundings, defeating camouflage and other methods of visual concealment.
Here my source just in case you want to review it.
I first used FLIR in 1980.
UGH....
