A suspect opened fire on officers patrolling in Orange Thursday evening.
The officers were on patrol near Park Lane and Meats Avenue close to the Costa Mesa (55) Freeway when the suspect started firing rounds at them just before 7:15 p.m., said Lt. Phil McMullin of the Orange Police Department.
The officers escaped injury and were “actively” searching for him in the area, McMullin said. A suspicious person was found in a backyard but it’s unclear if it’s the suspected gunman, McMullin said.
