‘Active shooter’ firing at Philly police inside a rooming house on N. 10th Street
Philadelphia Police and Fire raced to the scene of a violent confrontation inside a rooming house on N. 10th Street. The moment officers arrived, a gunman opened fire, forcing police to declare an Active Shooter situation and take cover.
In the chaos, a resident jumped from a back window to escape, breaking his ankle. With crossfire preventing medics from reaching him, officers risked their own lives to lift the man to safety.

A 911 caller reported that a female victim has been shot and remains trapped inside the building. SWAT has now taken over the scene as the suspect is still barricaded on the second floor. Officers have been ordered to pull back and secure cover as the standoff intensifies.
This is the worst incident I have ever reported live. Please join me in praying for the safety of our officers and all innocent lives caught in this nightmare.
