Two police officers were killed, along with a suspect, in a shootout in northern Miami when officers raided a home, officials said.
Authorities identified the officers as Roger Castillo, who was killed at the scene, and Amanda Haworth, who died a short time later during surgery.
Gunfire erupted as police entered the home in the low-income Liberty City neighborhood looking for several wanted criminals including murder suspect Johnny Simms, who was killed in the shootout.
"They made contact with a member of the family who said that they would be right back," Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Alvarez told reporters at the scene. "They didn\'t come out. Obviously, they encountered the subject. There were gunshots exchanged."
Simms, 23, was described by Miami-Dade Police Director James Loftus as a "career criminal," who was released from prison last year after serving time for armed robbery.
Area schools were put on lockdown while police investigated.
