The suspects, who were using an assault weapon, were themselves fatally shot.
police made a traffic stop on a white minivan traveling eastbound on I-40 at Airport Road,
The occupant or occupants of the van shot two police officers and sped off, he said. One of the victims died at the scene; the other was taken to a nearby hospital, where he died, Shelton said. One of the two fatalities was the son of the city's chief of police, he added.
A short time later and about a mile away, in the parking lot of a Wal-Mart, two deputies searching for the suspects came across a white minivan and were shot and wounded as they approached the vehicle, Shelton said.

I’ve not heard anything since 5:30-6pm. At that time, one of the officers shot was doing very well. Talking, etc. The other officer (Wren, I believe) was in surgery and in critical condition. There may be more current news available.
Thanks. It was Wren I was thinking about since he was in surgery early PM.
>>>The two suspects haven’t been identified.
Gee, I wonder why. Could you believe the OUTRAGE if these are HISPANIC DRUG THUGS Killing our cops while their so-called president is running off at the mouth at the White House about Arizona and racial profiling?
After reading the description of the vehicle and being registered to “a white supremest church from Ohio” I think we might hold our fire until the facts are known. That particular church, and surrounding area was heavily linked with some serious bad guys about 15 years ago. The most notorious was affiliated with the Kehoe brothers which engaged in a shootout with law enforcement in nearby Wilmington Ohio. I thought the feds had pretty much driven them out of the area, maybe not.
Works for me.......:)
