Police in Tampa, Fla., are searching for a man and woman who are believed to be involved in the fatal shootings early Tuesday of two police officers during a traffic stop, The Associated Press reported.
The shootings occurred at about 2:15 a.m. when Officer David Curtis pulled over a red Toyota that didn't have a visible tag. A background check showed the male passenger in the car was wanted on a misdemeanor warrant for writing a bad check. A woman reportedly was driving the car.
Six minutes after the stop, a witness called to report that Curtis and Officer Jeffrey Kocab had been shot. The couple in the Toyota had fled, the AP reported.
