Police: Gunman ambushes 2 officers sitting in vehicle

A gunman opened fire on two New Jersey police officers while they were sitting in their vehicle at a red light yesterday night, wounding them in what authorities are calling an ambush attack.

At least one suspect opened fire on the plainclothes detectives in Camden, which is located just across the Delaware River from Philadelphia, said Camden County Police Chief J Scott Thomson.

"The information we have thus far is that they were essentially ambushed," Thomson told reporters at a late night news conference.

"A male walked up and began opening fire. We have anywhere between 10 and 25 rounds that were fired at the officers."
