The Philadelphia shooting standoff lasted 8 hours, and the suspect's lawyer called him to help end it. By the time he was in custody, six officers were wounded.
Police officers trying to serve a narcotics warrant entered a row house in the Nicetown-Tioga neighborhood Wednesday afternoon. As they got toward the kitchen area, a man fired multiple rounds, forcing some officers to escape through the window, authorities said. But others got trapped in the house with the gunman after he barricaded himself. As he traded gunfire with officers outside, bullets ricocheted on the pavement, sending them crouching behind police cars.
Negotiators tried to communicate with the suspect, but he was picking up the phone and not responding, Ross said. The suspect's attorney joined a phone call to reassure him police won't harm him, authorities said. A woman sells candy near the scene of a shooting in Philadelphia. Five hours after the first shots As the sun set and the standoff dragged on, the mayor said he was listening to police radio transmissions.
