PHILADELPHIA -- A man was fatally shot by police after he opened fire and shot three police officers and another man in Northeast Philadelphia following a domestic incident, Interim Police Commissioner John Stanford said on Wednesday night. The shooting happened on the 7500 block of Whitaker Avenue just after 7 p.m.'Just a tragic situation all the way around,' Stanford said. Stanford said a domestic-related incident led to the shooting inside a home on Whitaker Avenue.
Police officers returned fire and fatally shot the man. He was pronounced dead on the scene. At least three officers discharged their weapons, Stanford said. Two of them were among the three who were shot and the other was a supervisor. Stanford said two of the officers were shot in their legs, while a police sergeant was struck in their finger. It's unclear what weapon the man had. All three were listed as stable at Jefferson Torresdale Hospital following the shooting, Stanford said.
