Thank God the injuries are not life threatening, although last I heard, this incident is still going on.
Prayers for all in uniform today.
Philly man who shot 6 officers has an extensive criminal history.
His 1st arrest was at 18 for having a gun with an altered serial number.
Since then he has been arrested about a dozen times.https://t.co/mZUyFgIBbd
