Four officers responding to a robbery in progress encountered multiple suspects, one of whom fired a gunshot at the officers, officials said.

The officers then returned fire, authorities said, though no one was hit in the exchange. It was not immediately clear how many shots were fired by police, officials said.

The responding officers were taken to an area hospital for treatment of tinnitus, police said.
