It doesn’t get any messier as Los Angeles police officers, involved in a statewide manhunt for an ex-LAPD colleague, came across vehicles matching the one sought by authorities in massive manhunt at two separate locations.
The first location in Torrance involved Los Angeles police detectives from the Hollywood division, who got caught up in an officer involved shooting, which resulted in gunfire injuring two women that had been delivering newspapers. They have since been transported to an area hospital.
The incident took place at approximately 5:20 a.m. in the 19500 block of Redbeam Avenue according to sources. The extent of their injures has not been made public.
The second incident involved Torrance police, and occurred at Flagler Lane and Beryl Street at approximately 5:45 a.m. No injuries were reported in that incident.

Hell, that's what they want to do to law abiding citizens.
The cops should lose their badges today and go to jail.
I carry a gun and if I did this, I would be immediately hauled away.
No excuse.
I’ve been hooked on Adam-12 lately. This terrible situation feels like walking into one of their episodes!
Reminds me of walking patrols with Iraqi’s. We had to constantly tell them not to beat detainees that were in cuffs.
They couldn’t understand this and argued that beating detainees without cuffs made no sense to them. They thought we were crazy.
It just never dawned on them not to beat detainees.
Standard procedure, shoot first, concoct story later.
The police organizations are always right.
The trucks that were shot were of different color.
But then:
“What difference does it make?”
Well, its obviously an innocent mistake... two hispanic women in a blue truck delivering papers are often confused for a single black man in a gray truck....
//sarcasm
Obviously LAPD #1 requirement for employment is HupA.
Yes, one is a blue Toyota, the other is a gray Nissan. Both are Japanese trucks, close enough! Boom, boom, boom! More than a dozen times, then oops... probably the two screaming wounded women was the clue to stop shooting. Based on this, if more cops get killed by Dorner I won't shed a tear.
Maybe they're color blind.
