"3 police shootings in Philadelphia" Associated Press, May 31, 2013
PHILADELPHIA — Philadelphia police were involved in a trio of shootings the same day the city’s police commissioner discussed details of a planned review of the department’s use of deadly force.
The latest shooting happened during a gun battle Wednesday night in the city’s Germantown section while officers were pursuing at least three suspects, authorities said.
The suspect was killed and a 2-year-old boy also suffered a graze wound. Officers were searching for the remaining suspects.
It was the third police-involved shooting in the city on Wednesday and came hours after police Commissioner Charles Ramsey discussed an independent review of the department’s deadly force policies.
Earlier in the day officers shot a man in the buttocks after police say he pointed a gun; another man was critically injured after he was shot by officers who said he fired at them.
Does anyone believe police in AmeriKa when they say such things anymore?
