At least one shooter is still firing from a house, they’re clearing all the cops out of the area, sending in SWAT with officers with “long guns.” Another officer reportedly hit by grazing fire according to scanner reports.
Update:
You can see a bunch of cops here pinned down and under fire:
Yes. 4 officers shot. No, 5. The last was the “graze” that just happened.
OH SHIT. I heard those. (More shots.) A quick burst, is all. Sounds like small caliber.
