PHOENIX, Ariz. — At least one police officer and two suspects were killed Wednesday when a gunbattle erupted during an undercover drug operation in Phoenix, police said.

The shootout left two other officers wounded and two other suspects hospitalized with non life-threatening injuries, said Sgt. Steve Martos, a Phoenix police spokesman.

Two more suspects were detained and being questioned, Martos said. A seventh was being sought.

All three officers were from the Chandler Police Department. One was pronounced dead at St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center in Phoenix, authorities said. One of the wounded officers was in critical condition at the same hospital while the other was in stable condition.

I would be willing to bet money that most of the people involved are Illegal aliens,they have 0 respect for authority and will try to shoot their way out if they think they can,sounds like somebody was hiding in a closet and came out shooting

Does AZ have that law? The one where if anyone dies as a result of a felony, anyone participating the the felony can be charged?

I wish every State did.

Great law IMHO.

Its more like you can't mention unconstitutional behavior without hearing from me. I don't care at all about illegal immigrants, only that they be treated as human beings and in a manner consistent with our constitution. Bye Ernie.

Someone let me know who these BG drug dealers turned out to be, not what Ernie or Duke, guesses them to be. Not that it matters. They will go to jail where they belong regardless of who they happen to be.

It's the failure of the Feds to treat illegals "as human beings and in a manner consistent with our constitution" as they are being processed for being illegals.

Just last week, a local LEO was venting to me about an ICE agent refusing to pick up an illegal being released from jail for a misdemeanor because the crime wasn't serious enough.


Crime wasn't serious enough???

What part of "illegal" doesn't the Feds understand??

Why does an illegal need to commit another crime (much less a serious crime) to be processed "as human beings and in a manner consistent with our constitution" on the way out.

The privleges and protections of the Constitution should be reserved for those that are here legally.
