Three Philadelphia police officers were wounded and a suspect was killed during a shooting in the city’s Wynnefield neighborhood late Saturday night.
Sources say the suspect who was killed is a retired firefighter.
The incident unfolded shortly after 10:30 p.m. at the intersection of 54th and Arlington streets, where officers had responded to reports of a vehicle that had been struck by gunfire.
Police Commissioner Kevin Bethel said officers encountered a 57-year-old man at the scene who became involved in an altercation with them.
According to investigators, officers ordered the man to comply with commands, but he refused.
Surveillance video from city street cameras shows the man confronting several officers.
The footage appears to show the suspect getting in the officers’ faces and shoving one officer before being pushed away from the group and into the street.
Police said the man then pulled a firearm, leading to an exchange of gunfire.
Three officers were struck during the shooting. Authorities said one officer was shot in the face, another in the hip and a third in the leg.
All three were taken to a hospital and were stable as of Sunday morning.
