BREAKING: Latest on Philly shootings

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.

Jim Kenney: "If it bleeds, it ain't Islam"

Philadelphia-- a police officer, Jesse Hartnett, was shot in an execution-style ambush, by Edward Archer, a Muslim man, who told police after his arrest that he shot the officer in the name of Islam on behalf of the Islamic State.

Philadelphia Police Commissioner Richard Ross told the media that the weapon used by Archer was stolen from a police officer's home in 2013.

Police are not calling the shooting a terrorist attack [because Archer forgot to yell "Allahu akbar!" or "my god is greater"] but the suspect told detectives "I follow Allah, I pledge my allegiance to the Islamic State. That is why I did what I did," homicide unit commander, Capt. James Clark, said.

Archer told them that he believes police enforce laws that are counter to Islam.

The suspect's mother said that he is mentally ill and Ross said that at this time they don't know if Archer was radicalized or tied to terrorism. "We will see where the investigation leads us," Ross said.

If he isn't tied to terrorism, what kind of Islamic attack was it?

Newly elected Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney (Democrat, naturally) said "in no way, shape or form does anyone in this room believe that Islam or the teaching of Islam has anything to do with what you see on that screen." He was referring to a police video showing the actual shooting.

During a press conference today, Kenney said, "this is a criminal with a stolen gun who tried to kill on of our officers, has nothing to do with being a Muslim or following the Islamic faith."

Methinks that Imam Kenney doth protest too much.

Archer's mother, Valerie Holliday, said her son was the eldest of 7 children and suffered head injuries from playing football and a moped accident. "He's been acting kind of strange lately. He's been talking to himself, laughing and mumbling." his mother said. "He's been hearing voices in his head."

I believe the prophet of Islam also heard voices, mumbled to himself, and cut off heads. 

Kenney demonsrates the "Shahada finger"

Ms. Holliday added that her son is a devout Muslim who has practiced the faith "for a long time."

So tell us, Imam Kenney, what part of Archer's actions fail to conform to Islamic jihad? Can you please help us all understand why he isn't practicing Islam the old fashioned way--the way that Islamic State practices it?

Gun shoots cop in the name of Islam

An unnamed man ambushed a Philadelphia police officer, Jessie Hartnett saying that he did it in the name of Islam, sources told KYW-TV. My guess is the man's name is some derivative of the name "Mohammad."

According to the same source, the Islamic terrorist gave a full confession.

Thankfully, Officer Hartnett is in stable condition due to the obvious lack of marksmanship on the part of the scumcrumpet. He fired at Hartnett 13 times and struck him in the left arm 3 times, Police Commissioner Richard Ross reported. 

"This is absolutely one of the scariest things I've ever seen," Ross said. "This guy tried to execute the police officer. The police officer had no idea he was coming."

Hartnett was able to return fire after being taken by surprise and hit the Mohammad-Wannabee 3 times. Black Lives Matter plans to investigate whether or not the return fire was justified. Well, maybe not.

The jihadist ran from the scene after he got back what he gave; his condition is not known to the public.

Sobriety test?

The Mayor of Philadelphia Jim Kenney, a Democrat who, like Obama, blames the gun, said, "There are just too many guns on the streets and I think our national government needs to do something about that." 

He might as well have said: "If we could just get guns off the streets, those criminals won't be able to get guns and the streets would be safer."

He has been on the job for one week and already politicized a jihadist attack on a police officer--Obama should be proud. It would have been nice if he simply gave his well-wishes to the officer and his family. 

The hard truth is, however, liberals are more concerned with the politics than the people. It's the politics that makes them feel good about themselves, not the results of their irrational thinking.
