2 police officers wounded, suspect killed in shooting at movie theater in Los Angeles County

Two police officers wounded in a shootout at a movie theater that killed a suspect are recovering, authorities said Saturday.

One officer was shot in the jaw, another in the shoulder, police Lt. Walt Krumbach said. Both were taken to Harbor-UCLA Medical Center and are said to be stable. Neither of the injuries are believed to be life threatening.

The wounded officers' names have not been released.

The shooting broke out Friday night at the Pacific Beach Cities Stadium 16. Officers had gone in to escort a young man out and he opened fire. Police shot and killed the gunman outside the theaters.

Officers searched in and around the theater for companions of the gunman and took two men into custody at a nearby parking structure.

At first, police said the pair were being considered "persons of interest" in the case. But authorities later said the pair are not believed to have been involved in the shooting.

It wasn't immediately clear what triggered the shootout, which a witness told KNX radio started inside one of the theaters and continued outside.

Video taken from a news helicopter shows a man being wheeled out of the theater complex on a gurney.
