The passenger officer got out and identified himself as a police officer. That’s when police say one of the two gunmen fired a shot at that officer. While the officer ducked for cover, the officer behind the wheel drove about half a block down the road after the suspects, eventually firing one shot through the windshield of the police vehicle at the suspects.Massive Water Main Break In Kingsessing Leaves Behind Gaping Hole, Big Repair Job
“It just continues to speak to the level of gun violence that we’re seeing almost every day in this city. We say time and time again that something has to give but there’s too many folks out there that just seem to get unlimited access to firearms and obviously, they’re not afraid to use them on each other, and as we’ve seen over the past couple weeks, they’re not afraid to use them against our officers,” Philadelphia Police Sgt. Eric Gripp said.
Police say after this shootout more officers responded to the area and were able to track down the two suspected shooters, along with two semi-automatic handguns.Officers are now conducting a full investigation of the incident and the officers involved have been placed on administrative duty in the meantime.
