Two Philadelphia police officers are shot in an ambush after responding to a call about a person with a gun early Saturday. Officials say the officers are hit multiple times as they reach the scene, and one officer later dies from his injuries. Another officer is reported injured but in stable condition.
Outlets describe the shooting details slightly differently. Some report the officers are fired at “significantly,” with one officer hit a dozen times and the two officers shot 12 to 15 times combined. Authorities also later find the suspect, with at least one outlet describing him as hiding in a tree near the scene. The reports agree on the basic sequence: a police response to a gun-related call, an ambush with multiple gunshots, and a suspect discovered afterward by law enforcement officials.
