PHOENIX (AP) — Phoenix police say two officers have been shot and wounded by a person suspected of breaking into a car. Interim police Chief Michael Sullivan said at a news conference hours after the Tuesday evening shooting near downtown Phoenix that one of the officers is in critical condition. He said the other was listed in stable condition. Police say 41-year-old Saul Bal has been booked into the Maricopa County Jail on suspicion of two counts of attempted murder plus burglary and weapons charges. Authorities say the suspect took off running when the officers arrived and jumped a fence. Sullivan says the officers gave chase and were met with gunfire.
