A 45-year-old Darby man has been identified and charged with attempted murder and related charges in the shooting of a Philadelphia police officer, authorities announced Thursday.
Investigators say on Wednesday around 3:30 p.m., an officer and his partner pulled over a vehicle with three people inside near the intersection of 60th and Market Streets.
According to officials, during the traffic stop, a struggle ensued between the officer and a passenger, during which the officer was shot. Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw said an officer who was critically injured when a traffic stop escalated to a shooting Wednesday in West Philadelphia is expected to recover. Three suspects were later arrested in connection to the shooting and their car was recovered.
Deputy Commissioner Stanford says one of the bullets exited the officer's body and he underwent surgery to ensure no internal damage came from the gunshot wounds. The 32-year-old officer was then placed in stable condition after surgery, according to the Fraternal Order of Police. "There's absolutely relief that we're not reporting on an officer death, but that doesn't take away the anger that I feel, the frustration that we all feel," Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw said.Outlaw, who was out of town during the shooting, told reporters Wednesday night that two of three people involved in the shooting have been taken into custody. Police have also recovered the suspect's vehicle.
