2 New Orleans officers in surgery after shootout

By Associated Press

One suspect is dead and two New Orleans police officers and another suspect were wounded after an early morning traffic stop developed into a gunfight.

Police Superintendent Ronal Serpas says both wounded officers required surgery after the shooting early Thursday.

A police spokesman said both were in stable condition as of 9:30 a.m. Central time.

The condition of the injured suspect was unknown.

The gunfire happened not far from New Orleans' City Park and near Delgado Community College.

Terry Smith, an employee of a nearby fast food restaurant, identified the dead man as a co-worker and said he was being driven to work by his brother. Smith was angry at police, expressing doubt that the young man was involved in a crime.
