Long criminal history, already illegal to have a gun, but radical Philly Mayor still called for gun control and blamed the NRA.
Via NBC:
An armed suspect accused of opening fire and wounding six officers in north Philadelphia during a nearly eight-hour standoff surrendered early Thursday, officials said.
The gunfire began Wednesday afternoon as police attempted to serve a narcotics warrants, police said. Shortly after midnight, police spokesman Sgt. Eric Gripp tweeted that a suspect was in custody and that SWAT officers were clearing the house.
Police on the scene said that the suspect surrendered without incident and was taken to a hospital for treatment because chemicals were used that disorient people.
Police were serving a warrant at the home in the northern part of the city when a gunman opened fire. Two officers were trapped upstairs for hours before they were safely freed along with three others by SWAT officers, the police commissioner said.
