Reporting from San Francisco and Los Angeles -- Four Oakland police officers were shot and critically injured and a suspect was killed during two related shootings this afternoon, Oakland authorities said.
Two motorcycle officers were shot during a traffic stop at 1:16 p.m. in the 7400 block of MacArthur Boulevard. After the shooting police launched a "very extensive manhunt" for the suspect, said Oakland Police spokesman Jeff Thomason.
Police received an anonymous tip that a possible suspect was barricaded inside a nearby building.
About 3:20 p.m., officers tracked the suspect down at a building a few blocks away, along the 2700 block of 74th Avenue. SWAT officers entered and the suspect fired, striking two officers.
"The officers returned fire in defense of their lives," said acting Police Chief Howard Jordan. The suspect was killed, he said.
The four officers were in critical condition at Highland Hospital, Thomason said. The investigation is ongoing and the search has been called off.
"We are not searching for anybody else right now," Thomason said.
He added that authorities were still trying to notify family members.
"This is a highly sensitive situation we're dealing with right now," he said.
During the search, streets were roped off and an entire area of east Oakland was shut to traffic.

Anyone hear about the gun shop in san jose that was burglarized for over 100+ guns? Those guns are going to fall into the hands of kids like this.

Shocked they knew where suspect was-- apparently barricaded, and still couldn't avoid casualties.
