Four more officers were injured by shrapnel or ricocheting bullets in the early Friday ambush. Phoenix Police Sgt. Andy Williams tells reporters that all of the officers are expected to survive. Police say the suspect was found dead in the home following a barricade situation, and a woman at the home was critically injured. They say a baby had been inside and at some point was placed outside in a carrier. The baby was unharmed.
