Two officers who were being held hostage by a gunman inside a Philadelphia home have been rescued by SWAT members after the shooter shot six other cops with an AK-47 during a drugs raid.
Philadelphia Police Sgt Eric Gripp tweeted shortly after 9.30pm that the two officers 'have been safely evacuated by PPD SWAT'.
'Suspect is still armed and inside house. Continue to avoid the area.'
It's unclear if the two rescued officers were injured. Police said the six injured officers did not have life-threatening injuries and some have already been discharged the hospital.
One of the officers, a father-of-two, was shot in the head, but the bullet grazed him and he's expected to survive.

Thankfully no cops were killed. Drug bust gone bad. Nicetown–Tioga is one of the worst neighborhoods in Philly.
Wrong template for the gun grabbers. Wrong city too. Democrat run and won't ever change. Nobody cares. It'll be a sexy news cycle but compositely forgotten once the barricaded perp is either killed or arrested. \
update: perp just arrested.
Perp is a registered Democrat, who matriculated from a Democrat school in a Democrat ran city.
His community failed him and he failed himself.
The Perp is not crazy. He was doing what he did for money ( a street corner can make 10,000 in a day). It is not like he was going to get a job based on the Democrat school curriculum he partially learned.

Reading, Writing, & Racism
With the rise of electronic media, the Democrats will drop two elements of the curricula and it will devolve into a curriculum consisting of just RACISM.

Philadelphia mayor calls for gun control action after officers injured in standoff
SAY WHAT YOU WILL, BUT THIS SUMS IT ALL UP
The shooting was related to the drug trade. Specifically the drug trade in a a Democrat bastion, fief.
Not one Democrat (and certainly not the dimmest among them, the Parrot) has explained if you can't control the flow of people or drugs across the border, how you would control the flow of guns across the border.
Barack Insane Obama and the dishonorable Eric Holder sent many guns across the border. See Fast and Furious.
Drugs are transshipped thought Venezuela and Cuba for 2 decades and not one Democrat objected. Instead they fight each other like girls in a locker room to be the fist to get their foto with Hugo Chavez and Castro. The same actors transshipping drugs can transship guns to protect their drug trade.
Many of the murders in Democrat misruled cites are over real estate, the real estate / street corners where drugs are sold. If the murder is not over a street corner, then it is retaliation for that murder.
If we want to stop most murders, we need to lock up all Democrats in re-education camps. We can teach the inmates literacy and numeracy. Certainly the parrot could benefit being literate and numerate.
The shooter in Philadelphia was a registered Democrat. But unlike Mayor Marion Barry, he was on the bottom rungs of the Democrat party machine.
Squirt, squirt squirt squirt
No it doesn't sum it all up Squirrel. Keep looking!
Hey squirrel what happened to your holy grail the Mueller Report? Where's all that evidence? Not pathetic links Squirrel, evidence. The walls are closing in in etc etc! I will say you rarely get tired being a loser.
Ilhan Omar Claims “Every Day” 500 People Die from Guns Yet She Hangs Out with CAIR Gun-Toting Radical
Squirrel should run for Congress. Like Biden it is forgetful, senile and gaffe-prone. Like Ilhan Omar it has a hard time with math.
If 500 people a day died from guns (actually some evil Democrat pulling the trigger, but why quibble), 182,500 people would die a year. She is off by a whole order of magnitude.
500 * 365 = 182,500
In actuality gun related homicide is between 10,000 and 15,000. It spiked under Obama and his open borders policy.
But to be honest you can be off by several orders of magnitude and it would still be considered ballpark. In fact since she is off by a little over 1 order magnitude, she is considered a genius by Democrat metrics.

Squirrel has is naked pics to keep it company. News ones every day.
The Philadelphia shooting is the result of Left-Liberal-progressive catch and release.
It does not work wit criminals and it does not work with immigration enforcement.
Yet libtards and other congenital idiots keep using it.
Not only can squirrel not do math, but it has a hard time reading graphs.
How did that tard weasel its way into a desk job in intel?

He was and still is a REMF.
Registered Democrat Maurice Hill was caught & released 6 timers on gun crimes.
Other registered Democrats cheered when he gave himself up and taunted police.
Squirrel is a registered Democrat REMF that cheers Democrats from behind a computer screen in between pulling up new pics.
