Two Dallas Police Department officers have been critically wounded in a shooting at a Home Depot store in north Dallas, police officials confirmed.

One civilian was also shot in the incident at the Home Depot at U.S. 75 and Forest Lane, multiple sources told WFAA.

The two Dallas officers, a man and a woman, were helping a security guard who was responding to an incident at the store.

The incident was still developing about 5 p.m. Police were still searching for a suspect.

A police spokesman confirmed a "major incident" at the store and said it was still a "very active scene."

The Dallas officers who were shot were taken to nearby Presbyterian Hospital, sources told WFAA.

Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings tweeted that city officials were "closely monitoring" the situation and "praying for our officers and their families."

More than a dozen police cars were still at the scene behind the store, near a line of trees. At least one person could be seen being loaded onto an ambulance.

An officer with a police search dog was also on the scene, going into the wooded area. Armored police vehicles were seen driving toward the Home Depot on U.S. 75.

Officers could be seen searching the surrounding area for the suspect.

Several Home Depot employees told WFAA that there was a ruckus behind the store and that they heard gunshots. One employee said he saw two officers on the ground and wounded.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) announced on Twitter that it was also responding to the shooting to help with the investigation.

The Forest Lane Dart Station was shut down during the incident.

This is a developing story. Check back for more details.

Two officers assassinated while at lunch and now this. Two men tossed out of Starbuck’s and the media goes into a melt-down. Lets see how much attention this gets.

As usual nowadays, the fifth-column leftist media provide no description of the suspect.

It’s not the suspect, just a passed out male on drugs.

"Two men tossed out of Starbuck’s and the media goes into a melt-down. Lets see how much attention this gets."

Beat me to it, but I think we already know the answer to your question: this incident will garner 1/100th of the attention that the Starbuck's incident got, if that. It will not be the subject of national soul-searching and breast-beating and concerned editorials.

Local CBS affiliate in Dallas is reporting one officer shot in the face, the other officer shot in the back of the head. That sounds like an assassination to me.

Prayers for the officers and the civilian who were shot.

Republicans need to hang these LEO attacks right around the democrats necks come election time.

It wasn't republicans or conservatives out there chanting that they wanted "Pigs In A Blanket" and "Dead Cops".

Our media’s priorities are definitely out of kilter and need redoing. Prayers for these officers.

Yeah, the HD is in a green belt near the DART light rail tracks. Lots of forest/brush there. They have updated - https://twitter.com/wfaa - WANTED: Armando Juarez, 29, is wanted by @DallasPD for questioning after two of its police officers were shot and critically wounded this afternoon, via @rlopezwfaa .
