The plainclothes detectives were wounded as they sat in their unmarked SUV at a red light on Aug. 7.

The male detective suffered wounds to his bicep and forearm. The female detective was struck in her hand. Both have since been released from the hospital and are recovering.

Thomson has called the suspects “homicidal maniacs.”
