TV is reporting narcotics were involved.

No AR15 used? If so, doesn't fit the ever-present agenda to condemn our 2A rights. In other words, we won't hear much of it...

The firefight is still going on according to Fox TV. Reports that "100s" of shots fired. I wouldn't rule out an AR just yet.

Nicetown, PA doesn’t sound very nice...sorta like Pleasant Grove (savory neighborhood in Dallas) LOL

After reading the OP, I was about to post asking if John Africa and MOVE were back.

Doubt it’s “Trump Supporter”. Who knows though now a days.....maybe......wait....


They are angry about the amount of ammunition the shooter has.

Not in North Philadelphia.

Not to take away from the discussion, but “All six officers were in stable condition and treated for non-life threatening injuries before doctors released them, Philadelphia Police Sgt. Eric Gripp said.”

I grew up in that area and it is not the Nicetown that the name states. My father was exPhilly PD and we constantly got threats. We moved out in the early 1990s and I would not go into that area without body armor and guns and ammo. I have family in the police force but fortunately they have been reassigned to other parts of Philadelphia.

Believe me Universal back ground checks and AWB dont work in Philadelphia

Numerous arrests, some of them firearm related and many of them not prosecuted, but sure, let's blame a stolen gun and gun owner's overall.

And though I'm no longer an NRA member, don't get it confused when asshats like their mayor say, “If the state and federal government don’t want to stand up to the NRA, then let us police ourselves.” The use of "NRA" is a code word for ALL gun owners.

Police will NOT be your friend. If you think YOUR friendly neighborhood wannabe tacticool operator won't sign up for gun confiscation duty, remember Katrina and that California Highway Patrol had no qualms disarming little old ladies.

Numerous prior and pending offenses, violent, a drug dealer, willing to commit murder. The man is a psychopath. The criminal justice system should have had him off the street.

Officers serving a warrant on known violent felon(s) with numerous firearms related offenses. Entered the residence, went upstairs to clear the area and take additional suspects into custody. Then fired at through the floor.

The shooter, downstairs with an AK, firing through the ceiling with an AK at the officers who were on the second floor. Subsequently took cover, barricaded, himself within the structure, and engaged additional officers in a firefight while resisting demands to surrender peacefully.

Officers, probably older experienced officers with a wife and kids working to provide for their family. And all hell breaks loose with a perp willing to kill and trying his best to do it.

What a mess. It could have ended a heck of a lot worse, thank goodness it didn’t.

fwiw, something is amiss in the execution of the warrant(s). That shouldn’t have happened.

Shooter is black. This will be a forgotten story in a day or two

Project Exile that the NRA supported should be enacted in all major cities. I guess that is too much to ask to have Federal Prosecutors do that. What is on the horizon is a renewal to actually get a search warrant at DV hearings. Expect police to soon go to your house and confiscate guns. I watched Live PD in RI the other night and they answer a DV call. Woman said man was going down to the basement where guns are kept. LEOs arrive, arrest guy, and seize a Beretta 92 and AR15. Woman never claimed she was assaulted or treatened but they had been there before. I bet he never sees those guns again.

Saw a little bit of it on TV. Looked like every cop in town was there. Wonder how quick the response times in the rest of the city would have been.
