Philadelphia, PA -- At around 4:30 p.m. ET 6 Philadelphia police officers were wounded in a shootout in the Nicetown section of the city.
As of 10:45 p.m. ET the situation is still ongoing. The wounded officers miraculously did not receive life-threatening injuries and have at this time been released from the hospital.
Originally, two police officers were entering the building on North 15th Street to serve a warrant for drug-related crimes. They were met with gunfire and were barricaded on the second floor of a multi-family home. They had 3 prisoners with them.
Thankfully, the officers and their prisoners were able to leave the building with the help of a SWAT team and now the only person remaining is the gunman--his condition is unknown.
As shots were being fired through the ceiling by the shooter, Kamala Harris and Cory Booker went on the leftist networks to politicize the situation. Booker proved his level of understanding of gun control when he called for more stringent background checks, which might have prevented this. The presidential hopeful obviously doesn't understand that this guy would have never undergone a background check in the first place, and the fact that he had an AR-15 with his criminal status indicates the gun had to be illegal.
The gunman is still inside the house and the situation is "not completely resolved," Philadelphia Police Commissioner Richard Ross told reporters.
At least six Philadelphia police officers were shot, one reportedly grazed in the head, and three officers were rushed to Temple University Hospital.
Three other officers were taken to Einstein Hospital, it is known that one of them was shot in the arm. All six officers were in stable condition and treated for non-life threatening injuries, before being released from their respective hospitals, Philadelphia Police Department Sgt. Eric Gripp said. One of the officers received injuries due to a vehicle crash on the way to the scene.

On the scene, officers attempted to communicate with the shooter, trying to get him to surrender, but he continued to fire from the window. At this time, the shooting has come to a halt, possibly indicating the shooter is considering his options.
