“I'm extremely heartbroken to report that we had an officer shot and killed,” said San Diego police Chief Shelley Zimmerman.

Both of the shot officers were members of the department's gang suppression unit. The pair radioed in at around 11 p.m. that they were making a stop.  The unit almost immediately called in for emergency backup.

At this time, the San Diego Police Department is not willing to speculate on the officers being victims of an ambush.

“We don't have enough information at this point,” said Zimmerman.

The names of the officers and the suspect have not yet been released.

Zimmerman also said that officers who responded to the pair's call for help made a heroic attempt to save the life of their other colleague, rushing him to a hospital in a squad vehicle.

The officer who died had a wife and two children.
