Three officers were hospitalized and a man was fatally shot by police at a home in Miami Wednesday evening.
According to a Miami-Dade Police Department news release shared with USA TODAY Thursday, patrol officers were conducting an investigation in southwest Miami, Florida around 10:40 p.m. on Wednesday night.
When they approached the front door of the home, they encountered a man with a shotgun, according to the release. The man shot at the officers and they returned fire, police said.
Officials said two officers were struck by bullets. A 35-year-old man who worked with the department for seven years was struck in the arm. The other, a 57-year-old man who had worked with the department for 15 years, was struck in the arm and face. They were transported to a local trauma center.
