LAKE CITY, Fla. -- Three Lake City police officers were hospitalized after being shot while serving an injunction Friday afternoon near downtown.
The Columbia County Sheriff's Office said the officers were serving a domestic violence injunction at a home at Hilton Avenue and Matthew Streets just before 2 p.m. when they were shot. Two of them were flown to Shands Medical Center in Gainesville and one was hospitalized in Lake City. All three were reported to be in stable condition.
The Florida Highway Patrol reported that the suspect was barricaded inside the house, and nearby homes and businesses were locked down. Neighboring police agencies were assisting at the scene and a helicopter was circling the area, which is behind a post office and only two blocks from the Lake City Police Department.
Lake City police, FHP troopers, Columbia, Suwannee and Alachua County sheriff's deputies had the house surrounded. A Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission helicopter was circling the area.
Dana Schreiner, of WJTK radio, said buses were brought in to evacuate children from a girls club near the police activity. He said others in the neighborhood were asked to stay in their homes.
Channel 4 has crews in Lake City. This story will be updated throughout the afternoon as more details become available, with live reports on the local station beginning at 5 p.m.

It is vital to the lives of all, that all cops be humane as possible.
There are cases of cops getting murdered, in retaliation for injustices
done by cops on criminal suspects. I am a cop beating victim.
I know what it is like to =want= to kill a cop. But I won't do that.
Instead, I beg you cops to dialog with me, and let's be more like
the "gods" we all are meant to be? If you make people hate you,
eventually one of them will crack and kill you, they don't care, by then,
you see? Criminals figure, "IF the law means nothing to the police,
except to break and bend as for their own pleasure, damn them all then."
I have found that there is no real law in our USA except for what our cops
want to make of it. If you are marked for abuse, you are without recourse.
Once you are considered blacklisted by cops and pols, you are without recourse.
Some people will eventually crack, kill themselves or fade out. A very few will
get even, they think, and kill a cop, even though that action will be fatal to themselves.
Therefore, we must never leave suspects feeling unfairly treated. It pays in cop lives,
and in crime reduction, and in civil order and more happiness for all.
