I used to live down close to there as well, it is very far south "miami", next step is basically Homestead, Florida.

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.

Just spoke to the MDPD station responsible for this section of the city. The desk officer confirms one male officer is deceased, and their understanding is that it was an AK47. The office apparently never even made it out of the car. The news report of this being related to domestic violence does not seem accurate. He stated this was part of a “sweep” according to his understanding, which went horribly wrong. Feds are involved.

Two weeks ago I posted a breaking news story. I wonder why this story has not been moved to Chat like mine was.

Massive Manhunt Under Way After Two Officers Injured
Southwest Miami-Dade Neighborhood Scene Of Crime

POSTED: 11:15 am EDT September 13, 2007
UPDATED: 12:38 pm EDT September 13, 2007

MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. — A massive manhunt is under way after two police officers were injured and possibly shot during a standoff at a Southwest Miami-Dade apartment complex.

A white Honda Accord with a black hood was spotted abandoned near a canal near Southwest 216 Street and 129th Avenue. The car appeared to have a shattered front window from bullet holes.

The scene unfolded after a shooting at an apartment complex Southwest 143 Court and Southwest 280 Street.

Now, a helicopter is hovering over a wooded area at Southwest 216st Street and 129th Avenue, where a man armed with an AK-47 rifle is reportedly hiding. A worker cleaning a pool said he spotted a man running to the woods, Local 10 reported.

Officers called for major response from all police around 11 a.m. Thursday after several shots were fired.

A Honda Accord with a black hood fled the scene. The car that may have been connected to the crime was seen driving northbound in the southbound lanes on the Florida Turnpike and the freeway was shut down.

Sky 10 was over the scene where one of the police officers was transported in a Miami-Dade Rescue helicopter. The helicopter arrived at Jackson Memorial Hospital. The other officer was transported to a hospital closer to the scene, Local 10 reported.

The area where the altercation took place is east of US 1 and west of the Florida Turnpike, near Leisure City.

Re: ...reportedly with an assault rifle.

The seriousness of the situation aside, as always with 'journalists' that don't know squat about weapons (or just about any other fact but the liberal spin of the day), we can soon expect the weapon to be reported as a fully automatic .50 caliber cannon fired by a woman and child hating, right wing Republican bigot!

Horrible.Last week three Odessa Texas Police Officers were gunned down responding to a domestic violence call.All were killed.The whole community is distraught.Prayers to all of their families.

[Fawn]

Suspect is a black male 30 years old....named Kevin Werner

4 officers were shot. I hope this is the man who killed the Officer in Pompano a few weeks ago. Apparently, the same kind of high powered weapon was used for both shootings.

[Mariner]

I’m wondering what initiated the encounter in the first place...

[flattorney]

Miami-Dade police are currently looking for Kevin Wehner, 30 years of age, DOB 10.26.76, a black male involved in the confirm shooting of four(4) MD police officers around 11:00 am this morning during a burglary ring stake out. Over 100 MD police officers are currently involved in the manhunt for Wehner. Eyewitness reports said Wehner was heavily drugged when he opened fired on MD police without notice, using a semi-automatic weapon, after they pulled his car over for erratic driving in the stakeout area. He escaped on foot.
