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
Guy ought to be executed just for having the name Shawn LaBeet.
THEY?
I can't stay here and read this shit anymore.
Hope for the best but, prepare for the worst.....
Mayor speaking, Victims being identified.
Deceased officer had a wife and two children.
Shawn’s girlfriend was found at the scene of the shooting (!) and gave the false identity to police. "How did he elude 100's of police?" "I don't know" "What about the other people apprehended today?" "I won't talk about it." "When can people return to their homes?" "I don't know, this is a major investigation, police were shot today."
FWIW : A shotgun loaded with flechett rounds would be my choice. $4.00 per round is cheeep... "Dragon's Breath" cost a little more...Shock~n~Awe ya' know. ;0)
Well, (not surprised) Nancy isn’t carrying the press conf after all...
pppfffttt..the ever trusty Ms Grace..
It’s not on cable at all
This guy really IS a player:
From Weight of Glory’s link:
Shawn Sherwin Labeet, 25, is now on the run from Miami-Dade police after allegedly shooting four police officers, killing one. Keith LaBeet said Shawn is the half-brother of Ishmael LaBeet, who was
implicated in eight slayings at a St. Croix resort in 1973, a crime known in the Virgin Islands as the Fountain Valley Massacre.
‘’We’re all half-brothers. ... What can I say? My father got around,’’ said Keith. ``There’s a lot of us .... Shawn is one of the younger ones.’’
Shawn Labeet was not yet born in 1972 when Ishmael LaBeet and four associates killed eight people at a St. Croix resort, Carambola.
The five — all dressed in fatigues — sprang out of the bushes at the Rockefeller-owned Fountain Valley golf course in St. Croix and sprayed the dining area with bullets.
According to newspaper accounts of the 1972 massacre, the attackers rounded up as many as 15 people into a nearby patio. Four Miami residents were among them. Eight were ordered to kneel in a circle
and systematically shot to death with a shotgun and .45-caliber and 9mm pistols. The four from Miami, two couples vacationing together, were among the dead.
The five black robbers, who had screamed racial, anti-white insults during the massacre, according to witnesses, then fled with $731 from the cash register and the personal effects of the dead.
Thirteen years later, on New Year’s Eve, 1985, Ishmael LaBeet overpowered guards from the Virgin Islands Department of Corrections who were escorting him on a flight from St. Croix to New York.
LaBeet forced the American Airlines flight with 198 people aboard to divert to Havana, Cuba, where he was taken off the plane by Cuban authorities. The plane later made the flight to New York with the
rest of the passengers.

who is that guest she is talking to (yowza!) LOL
turned her OFF!
Listening to the streaming press conf on the computer now
he was the expert that was talking about forensics I think. Sigh. ok. Back to this.
What about: “Trust, but verify”?
POTUS presser soon, the networks have to run commercials and put another coat of varnish on Katie Couric...
Woof! A lot has transpired since I was here last......
bilingualism presser...
How does airborne cop FLIR work in 98 degree Miami weather, with 98 degree people? Is it more or less useful than than regular optical video?
didn’t a freeper earlier today post Labeet’s home address? If someone else remembers that and knows what that address was, could you please tell me?
It’s a huge area that’s cordoned off- many blocks. Now I’m not certain if they’ve cleared any of it- but there are still scores of people not being let back home..
Naturally- they’re not telling us all they know- or if they’re concentrating in a particular area- but it seems odd there are so many uncleared houses..after so long.
Or ...I’m ignorant. I thought SOP was to go house by house and clear em..then gradually let people home?
In the meantime- they’re repeating the whole press conf in Spanish..
