NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – A massive manhunt is under way for two suspects after police said two NYPD officers responding to a robbery were shot and wounded in the Bronx.

The shooting happened around 10:30 p.m. Monday on Tiebout Avenue.

Police said a team of plainclothes officers had just finished their shifts in the 46th precinct when a call came in about a grocery store robbery.

Police Commissioner Bill Bratton said the five officers, part of an anti-crime unit, then spotted two possible suspects in connection with the robbery.

One of those suspects then went into a Chinese restaurant on Tiebout Avenue near East 184th Street while the other remained on the street, police said.

As the officers approached the man on the street, police said the other man inside the restaurant pulled out a gun and began shooting from the doorway.

COMMENT:  The story emphasizes the danger of police work, danger that exists every hour of every day.
