Two Syracuse police officers were shot, and a third officer was injured during a shooting incident at the Pioneer Homes housing complex in Syracuse, New York. The officers were responding to complaints of a man threatening people and animals with a machete, which he used to cut a dog.
Police continued exchanging gunfire with the suspect, who barricaded himself in the apartment complex, and an active standoff is ongoing. The officers' status is stable, and they are likely to recover.
A third police officer was injured during the incident, although not by gunfire, and the cause of the injuries is unknown. The police have blocked roads surrounding the housing development, and a SWAT team has been deployed to search for the suspect.
