(CNN) -- Two police officers were fatally shot and another two were wounded Thursday in two separate shootings allegedly by the same suspects
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.

Maybe Huck will extravagantly FORGIVE them..?
More dead cops. Damn. I hope these perps are apprehended quickly.
no names no descrip?
Since they mentioned nothing about the bad guys, I’m betting they aren’t TEA Party right wing extremists.
Uh...They are dead....
suspects were shot dead from another story
“The suspects were using an assault rifle,” he said.
The suspects themselves were then fatally shot by other responding officers, he said.
If someone finds out who the shooters were, ping me...I’d be interested.
Really? I can’t open the link. I only had the excerpt.
Don’t need a link...It says both were fatally shot above in the article....
Oh jeez, now I get it. I saw the 2 dead cops, then the two wounded cops. The article talks about the dead perps before it talks about the wounded cops. Sheesh...
Yeah, it was probably written by a 10 year old...
In any event, this is brutal....Two dead cops, two wounded...The bad guys dying is not a good trade.
wow — 12 posts and not a single declaration that it was “’leeguls!”
Earlier Fox was reporting these perps were illegals on a drug run. The officers killed were drug enforcement officers.
Probably gang members from south of the border. American gangs don’t generally kill cops. Those from other countries don’t seem to care.
I assume there is a message or point to your post...
Good for you. I don't usually post riddles. I usually mean exactly what I say. The rest is up to you.
