If this is one of the officer shooting victims, it is better to see this than what often happens in these kinds of shooting situations.

"The shooter fired multiple rounds. Officers returned fire - many of whom had to escape through windows and doors to get [away] from a barrage of bullets," said Philadelphia Police Commissioner Richard Ross.

The commissioner did confirm that two police officers remained trapped inside the home. However, around 9:20 p.m. police said the officers were freed from the home. Their conditions are unknown at this time.

Did we hear about this earlier? If so, I missed it. (And, good grief!)

Locals, has the rain started there yet?

I am probably 25 minutes South of the location outside the city, and the skies just opened up. It's pouring.

Not that is some unique multi-tasking. Hopefully it caused him to miss many of his targets.

Is there a presser going on?

 

[TGIRecovered]

The crowd is dangerous. I'm sure some of them are not police-friendly. They mingle among the bystanders who are just curious. Crowds mean more officers are needed to guard the ones who are neck deep in bad situation and not as many cops available for other emergencies in the area.

MOO

Watching Mayor and Police Chief being interviewed. Seems to have been from earlier though. Good news update: All 6 wounded officers have been released from the hospital..
