At least four Philadelphia police officers were shot in the city's Nicetown section Wednesday afternoon, officials said, prompting a massive response to the North Philadelphia neighborhood. At least one suspect is in custody.
Frantic calls from responding officers came in around 4:30 p.m., according to audio obtained via Broadcastify.
"Officer calls for everything you got. SWAT, long gun," a law enforcement officer can be heard saying on the audio. "I got an officer shot."
SkyForce10 was over the scene as an unidentified gunman fired at dozens of police officers nearly 30 minutes after officers descended on the corner of 15th and Butler streets.

ReplyDeleteNarcotics issue becomes a huge fire fight, got one of them, still another barricaded. 4 LEOs shot supposedly non-life threatening..
ReplyDeleteGosh I hope so! Damn.
I am in Philly now on business. What a shit show ! Drop the incendiary bomb like they did on the MOVE people back in the day. Burn the whole ghetto block down. They can relocate to Salisbury.
ReplyDeleteShooter still in the building...2 officers in the building with suspects in custody but themselves barricaded from the bad guy!
ReplyDeletePrayers for our LEO brothers and sisters!
ANOTHER DEM enclave...
ReplyDeleteI have never seen so many obese cops rubber necking. It's no wonder they are getting shot. There are so many on the scene looting is going to break out elsewhere.
ReplyDeleteDo you have a mirror and your not in Philadelphia everyone knows that.
DeleteI WONDER IF THE SHOOTER IS A WHITE AMISH THUG IN PHILLY ?
ReplyDeleteGod Bless our Federal, State and Local Police...
ReplyDeleteI hope it's not a AMISH thug
ReplyDeleteLol what will CNN say if it's a BLACK SHOOTER ?
DeleteAnother dumbocrat product.
ReplyDeleteI did see a horse,so maybe the Amish theory has merit.
ReplyDeleteThese narcotics task forces are notorious for no knock entries and thuggish tactics. We will have to wait for the facts to come out but if my door gets kicked down I'm going into survival mode. Holding a couple of them until he could negotiate his safe exit may well have saved his life. The body cams will tell the true story. Just playing devil's advocate since some here think everyone on the block should have been killed. 5:53 Sounds like you would like living in Hong Kong more than America.
ReplyDeleteNorthwest Woodsman: I don’t know much about the racial composition of that area of Philadelphia, however, I’m willing to bet that blue eyed Scandinavians were not involved and highly unlikely that some Amish were involved even if a horse was spotted. If a house and buggy was somehow in the area, it was obviously stolen. Certainly, a low intensity civil war has begun and as these events increase in frequency and intensity, all os us should be prepared foe a worse case scenario. Just sayin!
