Several officer cars were seen on television sealing off the area around the garage in the Lincoln Heights neighborhood. Officers in full tactical gear were seen near the suspected gunman’s hideout.

A police helicopter hovered over the neighborhood, telling residents over a loudspeaker to remain inside their homes, the Los Angeles Times newspaper reported.

The Times, citing unnamed officer sources, said the officers who were shot are part of a canine unit and were seeking a suspect when they took fire.
