EL SEGUNDO, Calif. - A shootout at a movie theater has wounded two police officers and left a suspect dead.

El Segundo police are searching the area near the Pacific Beach Cities Stadium 16 just south of Los Angeles for multiple suspects after the Friday night gunfire.

Police say one officer was hit in the face, the other in the shoulder. Their injuries aren't believed to be life-threatening.

It is unclear why the shootings happened or whether they occurred inside or outside the theater complex.
