Dramatic video from doorbell camera behind firing line of Philadelphia police officers shows chaotic shootout with a suspect who allegedly shot and injured six officers before surrendering.

Angry politicians are pushing for gun control after six Philadelphia police officers were shot and injured in a dramatic, hours-long shootout and standoff.

Six officers were struck by gunfire. And while they all survived and have been released from hospitals, local and state politicians came together in a desperate plea for gun control. Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney said police need help keeping weapons out of criminals' hands. Sen. Bob Casey also spoke Thursday and said the U.S Senate must vote for a universal background check bill and a ban on military-style assault weapons.

"If the state and federal government don't want to stand up to the NRA and other folks, let us police ourselves," Kenney said."Our officers deserve to be protected and don't deserve to be shot at by a guy for hours with unlimited amount of weapons and bullets. It's disgusting." Over 1,600 people died in Pennsylvania from gunshot wounds in 2017, which is above the national average, according to Wolf's office.

Dad’s Tough Exterior Hides Angry, Resentful CenterDad’s Tough Exterior Hides Angry, Resentful CenterSAGINAW, MI—Sources close to local father Wayne Abrams confirmed Thursday that, while his tough exterior might initially fool casual observers, the 45-year-old’s gruff demeanor actually conceals a deeply angry and resentful center. “Sure, Dad seems all strong and tough on the outside, but underneath that is a simmering rage that he doesn’t always show people,” said Abrams’ eldest daughter Bethany, 16, who added that her father is “really mean and hurtful when you get to know him.” “He comes off a little cold at first, but it’s kind of funny because it’s nowhere near as cruel and spiteful as he truly is deep down. You just have to wait for him to share his hateful side with you. And trust me, if you hang around long enough, you’ll really be amazed at how despicable he can be.” Abrams added that her mother’s chipper exterior concealed an even more bitter and resentful core than her father’s.
