Captured (from what I understand) as of a few hours ago. Events happened Sunday night, officers were checking on a domestic violence situation. I'm not sure if they were checking on this suspect Grady Wayne Wilkes at this point. It seems he has a bit of an anti-police history (see 2nd article, al.com) . It could have been that this guy called in this situation and ambushed them, read the articles, this part of the story has not been reported on yet.

Police captured a man suspected of fatally shooting an Alabama police officer and injuring two others in a trailer park Sunday night, NBC News reports.
The officers were responding to a domestic disturbance at the Arrowhead Trailer Park when they were shot. The two injured officers are expected to recover, authorities said.
The suspect, Grady Wayne Wilkes, was "armed and definitely considered dangerous," Auburn police Chief Paul Register said at a news conference before Wilkes' capture, adding it was "probably the worst day of my time here." Wilkes, 29, is charged with capital murder, three counts of attempted murder and domestic violence.
