All three suspects in the shooting of a Metro Police officer Wednesday are described as young black men.

One suspect was described by witnesses as between 19 and 21 years old, about 6 feet 1 inches tall, between 150 and 160 pounds, with braided hair and bushy eyebrows. He was carrying a large revolver, Deputy Chief Raymond Flynn said today.

The second suspect is believed to be between 18 and 20 years old, 5 feet 6 inches tall, 130 to 140 pounds, with pigtails tied with yellow rubber bands.

The third suspect is described as being between 5 feet 8 inches tall and 5 feet 11 inches tall. He was wearing a dark cap and rubber mask. He was reportedly carrying a black semi-automatic handgun.

At least two of the suspects may now be traveling in a green, late-model Dodge Intrepid or Chrysler with California plates.
