A manhunt is underway after two plain-clothes police officers were shot and wounded while driving through a South Los Angeles neighborhood in what has been described as a 'targeted' attack.

The officers, who have not been identified, were reportedly fired at near the intersection of 65th Street and Broadway on Sunday evening as they drove in an unmarked car.

They subsequently returned fire, causing several suspects to scatter, police said. The officers were treated at the scene for minor gunshot wounds, while a number of people were detained by police.

Now, a search has been launched for two male suspects who were allegedly involved in the shooting and are on the run. Dozens of officers, including SWAT members, were at the scene Sunday night.

I didn't see this in US media. Anyone else know of this yet?

Looks like the cover of the unmarked car, and two plain-clothes police officers, was ineffective and had been broken. South Central is predominantly black.


Article does not say if the officers were black, white, Hispanic or Asian, all of whom serve on the LAPD.

I am thinking a unmarked police car in south central sticks out like a sore thumb.
