"A man shot and injured four police officers during a traffic stop today, killing one and triggering a manhunt in a suburban Miami neighborhood, officials said.

The other Miami-Dade County officers were being treated at hospitals, but authorities refused to release information on their conditions because they were trying to notify their families.

Investigators were looking for 30-year-old Kevin Wehner, last seen driving a white Honda Accord, said Linda O'Brien, a police spokeswoman. There was a chance another man also was involved.

The officers originally were conducting burglary surveillance when they stopped the man because he was driving a car erratically, O'Brien said. The man opened fire with a high-powered weapon and fled. It was not immediately clear if the officers returned fire."

"One Miami-Dade police officer was shot dead and three others wounded late Thursday morning after they stopped a man driving erratically through a Southwest Miami-Dade County neighborhood.

The man opened fire on the officers with a high-powered weapon before fleeing, police said. Law enforcement officers from across South Florida swarmed to the scene to assist in the search for the suspect, identified as Kevin Wehner, 30. Streets and local highway exits were closed to seal off escate routes. Police warned Wehner may be armed."

"The shooting happened a little after 11 a.m., when officers working on a burglary detail spotted the suspicious car in an apartment complex at Southwest 280th Street and 143rd Court, said Miami-Dade Police Cmdr. Linda O'Brien. The man inside stepped out of the car and opened fire on the officers with a high-powered firearm -- possibly an AK-47 -- striking four, then fled in the auto.

One of the wounded was a female officer whose leg was shattered by a bullet. She was undergoing surgery at Jackson Memorial Hospital."
