BREAKING: Los Angeles PD believes two policemen were TARGETED in evening shooting

Two police officers were believed to be the targets of a shooting attack that left them injured tonight.

More from the L.A. Times:

Two plainclothes Los Angeles police officers were shot at Sunday evening while driving through a South L.A. neighborhood, prompting an exchange of gunfire that caused several suspects to scatter, authorities said.

Aguilar said the officers, assigned to the 77th Street Division narcotics section, were driving in an unmarked police car. She said there was no indication they were caught in cross-fire between rival groups but rather believed the shots were meant for them.

“Of course, because it’s an active scene, that’s our preliminary investigation,” she said. “There’s going to be several thorough interviews of the officers. But right now they believe they were the target.”

Both officers sustained minor injuries and were treated at the scene.

Police apprehended several people at the scene, and the search continues for two others in the neighborhood, she said. The LAPD’s SWAT unit was on scene along with dozens of officers.

A large sectioned of the neighborhood was cordoned off as police conducted a block-to-block search assisted by a K-9 unit.

But even if we find out the shooter was a Ferguson looter, liberals will assure us that he had nothing to do with the movement, because we’re complete idiots of course.
