Chandler police officer, 2 suspects die in Phoenix shootout

One of the officers that suffered a gunshot is in critical condition.

Chandler is a southeast suburb of Phoenix and the UC operations was probably about 15 miles outside of Chandler in South Phoenix. It's not uncommon for UC officers to work outside their namesake cities either as task forces or just extensions of their investigations.

2 BGs were killed. No other details on the operation but it's not a good part of phoenix. Not sure if they got the shooter or not.

Another crappy day in AZ.

It's also not far from the training academy which is graduating a class this week. Second time this year that a class graduated the day after a local LE was killed making the ceremony a pretty somber occasion.

The operation was high dollar drug buy that the bad guys tried to turn into a 'rip.' SWAT accompanied he three UC detectives and were in a nearby home when the shooting started.

6 bad guys are in custody with 2 dead at the scene. Police believe they have everyone involved with the shooting in custody. The 2 dead bad guys are believed to be the shooters.

I think it was initially believed that the critically wounded officer would not pull through and there were some briefings that two officers died. Fortunately this doesn't appear to be the case. The nature of the UC work means the officers that were wounded won't be identified.

The slain officer was Carlos Ledesma, 34. He was married with two children. He had been with the department for three years.

Police: Chandler detective's death was an ambush

I can't say for sure, but the term "here legally" vs. "U.S. Citizen" seems to indicate a mexican national.
