An accused teenage carjacker allegedly pulled out a gun as officers tried to arrest him in South Philadelphia. That led to one officer pulling out his gun and firing as drivers watched in disbelief. KerriCorrado reports
It all started when police spotted a stolen vehicle and a 17-year-old standing right next to it on the 1400 block of Reid Street.
“During that scuffle, the offender produced a handgun and raised it in the direction of this task force officer. The task force officer raised his firearm and fired one shot, which did not strike the suspect, and then was able to get the weapon away from him and make the arrest,” Philadelphia Police Sgt. Eric Gripp said.Blaize Coggin was in his car when the shot went off.
This recent carjacking arrest comes on the same day as the city’s biweekly anti-violence meeting, where carjackings were of high concern.
