(CNN)One San Diego police officer was killed and another was injured Thursday night in a shooting as they tried to make a stop in the city, police said.
A suspect also was shot and was in custody early Friday. He’s being treated at a hospital for a gunshot wound, San Diego police Chief Shelley Zimmerman told reporters Friday morning.
Police are trying to determine if anyone else was involved in the shooting in southern San Diego and asked residents nearby to stay inside as they searched.
Details about the shooting were sparse. Zimmerman said the two officers, both members of the department’s gang suppression unit, radioed shortly before 11 p.m. that they were going to stop someone.
It is with a very sad heart that we announce the death of one of our Officers tonight. Pray for his family
Almost immediately afterward, they called for emergency backup, Zimmerman said. She didn’t say why the officers were trying to make a stop.
“I’m extremely heartbroken to report that we had an officer shot and killed,” Zimmerman said.
Asked whether the shooting was an ambush, the chief said it wasn’t clear.
“We don’t have enough information at this point,” she said.
The names of the officers and the suspect weren’t immediately released.
The injured officer, shot in the upper torso, underwent surgery at a hospital and is expected to survive, the police department tweeted Friday morning.
