Just hours after a report surfaced that Philadelphia Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey had asked for a federal examination in the use of deadly force by his officer, police were involved in three shootings in one day in Philadelphia, including one in which a young boy was grazed in the head. Police say they were called to the 4500 block of Wayne Avenue Wednesday night in the Germantown section of the city for a report of a gunman shooting at two other men. When they arrived, police say they confronted an armed man who allegedly refused to drop his gun. The officers then fired at the suspect 14 times.
Police say the unidentified suspect fired eight shots. He was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead at 10:37 p.m. Police say his weapon was recovered at the scene. During the shootout, a 2-year-old boy was grazed in the head. The child was taken to the hospital where he was in stable condition. A 25-year-old woman was also hospitalized in stable condition with a graze wound. It’s unknown whether they were struck by police or by the suspect.
