BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — A Baton Rouge neighborhood was awakened before dawn Saturday by a hail of gunfire, with police saying two officers were wounded as they traded shots with a man they had been chasing.


Neighbors say dozens of shots were fired in an exchange that also wounded the suspect.


Baton Rouge Police Chief Carl Dabadie Jr. said the officers' injuries didn't appear to be life-threatening. The suspect, identified as 22-year-old Calvin Smith by East Baton Rouge Parish District Attorney Hillar Moore, was undergoing surgery at the same area hospital.


East Baton Rouge Parish District Attorney Hillar Moore said a bullet grazed the head of one officer; the other officer was hit in the stomach but protected by his bulletproof vest.


"These guys are fortunate to be alive," Moore said. "God didn't want to take them today. It was not their day."


Gina Chambers said Smith has been living at her Baton Rouge home since December. Chambers said Smith's mother is her godmother.
