Authorities say a foot pursuit ended in an officer-involved shooting Thursday afternoon in North Philadelphia.
With both officer trailing him, the suspect then ran inside the back of a property on the 1200 block of Dauphin Street and into an alleyway between two buildings. Sargent Eric Gripp told reporters the suspect then pointed a gun at one of the officers which caused that officer to open fire.
A struggle then ensued between the suspect and the officer, during which police say the suspect's gun fired at least once. Investigators say the second officer who was involved in the foot chase heard the gunshots and found the officer and the armed suspect engaged in a fight, and fired several shots towards the suspect.
Responding police drove the 33-year-old suspect to Temple Hospital where he died from several gunshot wounds throughout the body, according to authorities. Neither officer was injured during the struggled, according to police. Further investigation revealed that the vehicle that started the chase was reported stolen.
