"In short succession, the officers were shot at by multiple shooters from the Ford Taurus, behind the tree, the store and around the corner of the store in what can be described as a coordinated ambush," the prosecutor said.

The three suspects have not been charged for firing on officers. Prosecutors added that one of the suspects, Francis, was out on bond for murder and aggravated assault of a public servant.
