SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. -- A police officer is in critical condition and a suspect is dead following an early morning shooting Friday near a Southern California nightclub, CBS Los Angeles reports.
A 31-year-old veteran officer and a new officer trainee were in an area known for criminal activity at around 2 a.m., to "check on some individuals," said Lt. Rich Lawhead of the San Bernardino Police Department.
The officers confronted a group of five people, who had just left a nightclub, in front of a home on a dead-end street and "almost immediately shots were fired," Chief Jarrod Burguan said.
A male suspect's gunfire wounded the senior officer, a 6-year veteran of the San Bernardino Police Department, twice in the upper body.
He was transported to Arrowhead Regional Medical Center for surgery. He remains in critical condition.
The training officer was able to return fire and wounded the suspect, who was a man in his 30s. He was also transported to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Police have not released the names of the officers or the suspect.
Five other people, including three women and one man, were taken in for questioning, CBS Los Angeles reports.
An assault revolver with high-capacity magazines and a revolver were recovered at the scene.

Sounds like the officers did their jobs, hope the wounded officer recovers quickly.
What in the name of buddha is an assault revolver? And how the hell do you put a high capacity magazine in a revolver? Reporters just using buzzwords to scare the timid.
All I could think of.
An Uzzi?
or this?
Nice, but........get ready for it.........revolver?
Not sure where the hi-capacity magazine is inserted.....well, if the reporter was present, I think we'd all know where to insert it.
No, but she looks like our friend.
The one with black hair is Julia.
She likes selfies too.
Lucky old old guy.
Now THAT'S an assault revolver.
Sure, if you notice the gun, it's kinda, sorta a revolver.
Lol I usually have a pretty good imagination, but in this case I'm stumped.
I looked for another story, to see if there were any other reports regarding weapons used. I'd love to see a pic of the assault revolver. Otherwise, I'm left with this...
