Three officers were shot dead in High Point, North Carolina, during a night stand in which police said a man was holed up inside a house.
High Point Police Lieutenant Matt Truitt told news outlets that the two officers suffered non-life-threatening injuries, even though one officer may need surgery.
Police said the confrontation began late on Thursday after officers heard gunfire near a house.
