A man who did not want his name to appear in print and who works at a barber shop on the corner of MacArthur Boulevard and 73rd Avenue, said he heard gunshots from outside and went down the block, where he saw two officers lying on the ground near each other.

“I went over to one officer and saw he was bleeding from his helmet pretty bad,” he said. “The other officer was laying motionless.”

He said the officer lying near a car had two gunshot bullets near in his face. One bullet was lodged in his jaw and the other in his neck.

Okay, thanks for the source. I think I’ll put that particular report on the “don’t trust, but verify” list. Not a lot of guys working in a barber shop who’d be able to determine where a bullet was lodged. Probably some element of truth there, though. There’s always a lot of early reporting that’s pretty shaky in these things.
