BURBANK -- Two Burbank police officers have been wounded in a shooting at a K-Mart that may have started as a shoplifting incident.

 

Burbank police say the initial call came out as a report of a petty theft at the store at 1000 N. San Fernando Road shortly after noon on Friday.

 

When officers arrived they were able to identify the suspect and were escorting him to out of the store when a struggle ensued and the man opened fire. It's unclear if the gun he used was his own weapon or one of the officers' weapons.

Witnesses say six or seven shots were fired during the incident and the suspect was jolted with a stun gun.

 

One of the officers was shot in the hand, the other was shot in the leg, according to Burbank City spokesman Keith Sterling.

 

Both officers were transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

 

There are reports that the suspect, who is in custody, was also shot during the incident, but it's unclear the extent of his injuries. He was also taken away in an ambulance followed by a police car.

 

A handgun has been recovered from the scene but the parking lot have been cordoned off and shoppers have been told they may not move their cars during the investigation. Sterling says buses are being brought in to take home people who can't get to their cars.

I was just passing through Burbank the other day, jaywalking across this bridge to get a flick, when this fat cop with the porn stache started yelling at me. I just gave him a dirty look while everyone on the sidewalk laughed at him. He was visibly upset. I bet he was the one who got shot. Same area..

I heard the Burbank police are the most hard-nosed. People were telling me stories about getting ran up on by cops in Burbank for doing nothing... getting stopped, yelled at, whatever... sometimes cuffed. For just walking to the store or whatever.
