TWO DEAD AS DRUG BUST GOES BAD

(HOMESTEAD) -- A gun battle during a botched drug bust in Homestead has left
five people shot... including a Homestead police officer. Two suspected drug
dealers were killed, and three others were injured in the incident. The
officer was grazed in the neck by a bullet but is expected to recover. A
group of undercover Homestead police detectives were trying to sell a small
amount of cocaine to several suspected dealers during the middle of the day
at a busy apartment complex. Cops say the dealers tried to rip them off...
one thing led to another... and shots were fired.

Meanwhile, members of the community are questioning why a drug bust was
planned in such a populated area.
