By David Hernandez and Lyndsay Winkley
Two San Diego police officers were shot, one of them fatally, during a traffic stop late Thursday night in the Southcrest neighborhood, police said.
The names and tenures of the male officers, both part of the department’s gang suppression unit, were not released.
One of the officers suffered multiple gunshot wounds and died at a hospital despite lifesaving efforts, police Chief Shelly Zimmerman said early Friday outside Scripps Mercy Hospital. The second officer underwent surgery early Friday and was expected to survive.
Police had one suspect in custody. He had been shot and was being treated at a hospital, Zimmerman said.

It may be premature to connect the dots, but these Officers were part of “The Gang Suppression Unit.”
Just another guess on my part, but could this be multiple shooters in this case? How else are you going to shoot both Officers?
