RUNNING GUN BATTLE
CRIME: Armed robbery suspects, whom officers say are responsible for a string of grocery store robberies, are arrested when they try a holdup in Reseda.
Three Los Angeles Police Department undercover detectives engaged in a gun battle Sunday night with three armed men who police said were running through the streets of Reseda after robbing a Ralphs supermarket.
One suspect was wounded in the left shoulder and another was bitten by a police dog. All were taken into custody.
No officers, Ralphs employees or bystanders were injured, said Sgt. John Pasquariello, a department spokesman.

Detectives are part of the LAPD's Special Investigations Section, here's the LAPD press release. The unit has been controversial; this summary of a Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals decision (fourth item) about immunity addresses some of the issues of the unit: "The three consolidated lawsuits arise out of the actions of the Special Investigative Services of the LAPD, whose purpose was to interdict and apprehend armed, violent career criminals."
