FREMONT, Calif. (AP) - Authorities aren't sure whether a suspect in the shooting and wounding of two Northern California police officers remains in a house where he had been holed up earlier this morning. And they don't know if he's still alive.
  Â
Officers in Fremont fired tear gas into the house during an armed standoff with the gunman, but they say he still refused to surrender.
  Â
The tear gas started a fire, which crews have been working to contain.
  Â
The officers from the Fremont Police Department were shot yesterday afternoon after a traffic stop turned violent. It prompted a manhunt that involved a house-to-house search lasting well into the night.
  Â
The suspect was eventually tracked to a home in the San Francisco Bay-area community of Fremont, where the standoff began.
  Â
A police spokeswoman tells the East Bay Times that one of the officers who were shot is in critical condition after surgery. The second officer remains in stable condition.
