The suspect, who was also shot, remained hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries.

A preliminary investigation found the officers 'were injured by friendly fire,' according to a statement by the Orange County Sheriff's Department.

See cops are so gung-hoe about shooting anything that moves, they even shoot at there partners and themselves... Maybe we should re-investigate who causes more harm in the line of duty for cops than the citizens themselves do... Maybe all of this hype of, this day and age bull shit or working hazards come from themselves not the average citizen...

They were both "in fear for their lives" from a man with a knife. But it looks like they were in fear of each other.

Two scared-dy cats cops that shouldn't even be allowed to handle guns. They are a danger to both themselves (obviously) and to the public.
