***ACTIVE SHOOTER IN Philadelphia*** - Police serving Drug Warrant are fired upon - 6 officers wounded (1 Viewer)

Reports of AK47 fire. Nothing confirmed. 
Lots of misinformation. First it was that 5 police were shot and 2 were dead. Then it was 7 were shot. Then it became 6 shot, none with life threatening injuries and 1 injured in a car accident on the way to the incident. 

 
Its weird to me that an active shooter thread here isn't interesting to the people. Maybe fatigue from having the same arguments?

Not making accusations. Just an observation.

I'd say absolutely. I clicked the thread for information but I'm sure arguments and comments are quickly TK.

It's my fault. I asked a question about the title. 

I've been watching the coverage since the news broke. I didn't see anything reported about type of weapon. 

For some reason, people don't like when I ask questions?

If there's anything we've learned about these things it's that in the moment it's chaos and little useful information is provided and when it's all said and done and the useful information is provided it's dismissed and the standard talking points commence.  There's nothing left to discuss at this point.  The things that need to be done are clear and are not happening anytime soon.

 
While this is not a good situation I don't consider it an "active shooter".  Shrug

why would this not be considered an active shooter? I was actually near the area yesterday, so pretty thankful i had a meeting with a family yesterday and not today. I'm just surprised it has taken up such media attn. Officers don't get shot everyday, but this isn't that abnormal. A  neighbor of mine was telling me late last week that the school he works at had some dude across the street in an abandoned house with an assault rifle and a whole cache of guns. Cops raided, and dude jumped out the backdoor and fled, leaving most of the guns there.

6 cops were injured and the standoff has been for overing 6 hrs almost. 2 of the cops were on the floor above the shooter with people cuffed already and didn't exit the house. There was some thinking the shooter also had them as hostages possible but the Chief and Mayor won't say exactly where the 2 officers in the building are for safety and other reasons right now.

yeah packed house. To be honest, who knows what the news is reporting accurately, but they are saying the 2 cops were helped out of the house. Dude in the house is going to be toast, really not sure he thought this out too well. Really don't see any way this ends well for him

Before the world went super crazy, these type of situations would happen on occasion. Guy getting served or being chased has a standoff with police.

When I hear active shooter I think some person randomly walking around shooting up a place (like what happened in El Paso etc)

I'm not saying either are good but that's how they are different to me

Video of the morons SCREAMING at the police throughout the shootout and even yelling “IN YOUR FACE” (presumably when an officer got shot?) makes me want to go hulk on these idiots.  GTFO of the way, and let law enforcement engage without the distraction you’re adding to the chaos.   :rant: :hot:

Would you save one of the people in that video or a scam telemarketer if they were both drowning? 

 
Crazy that 2 officers were trapped in the house for 6 hours and the shooter didn't even know it.  Can't imagine what that would have been like for those guys.

Same thought from me. I saw this on Twitter as it was in the initial stages and the potential for this story to be someone barricaded in their house was pretty far from my mind. 

There are "active shooter" drills in offices, at schools, etc with the idea that someone has come into a public or somewhat restricted space and started firing, what do you do? So yeah this didn't fit that tag for me.

If this guy had robbed a bank and fired shots in the process, and jumped in his car with a bunch of cops in pursuit, I wouldn't have thought to describe him as an active shooter either. 

 
Nah. Who needs a million wishes. If you can't get it done in 10 wishes, you're doing it wrong.
Disagree.  I'd love to be able just to waste wishes on stupid stuff.  Like I'm watching the game and I realize I left the chips in the kitchen.  I wish they were in here with me.  POOF!

Well you could have wished for bezos money. Then you could employ a butler that could bring you the chips. Chances are though you would have several leaches hanging around for no reason though and you could probably just say hey frank, bring the chips in here.

But then people would always be asking to borrow money.  I wish no one ever asked me for money.  POOF!
