Philadelphia police shot a man they believe was armed in West Philadelphia early Saturday morning, but did not recover a weapon. The injured man is among four people arrested at the scene. Police are looking for another man who fled. They said he may have run off with the injured man's gun.
Police were already in the area of 56th and Haverford on patrol when they heard multiple gun shots around 4 a.m. near a black 2016 Toyota.
Officers said they found three men inside the car and another standing outside. He began walking away and the two officers ordered him to stop. He ran, police say, and one of the officers chased after him.
The second officer ordered the other three men to get out of the car and raise their hands.
The 25 year-old driver refused to cooperate, police say, keeping his hand concealed in his waistband -- consistent, they say, with concealing a weapon. He took a step toward the officer, who shot the man in his left arm. Police say the officer believed the man was armed.
The officer then ordered all three men on the ground, but then left to help his partner who called for help as he struggled with the man who fled.
With both officers gone, one of the men on the ground took off.
The driver, who was shot by police in the upper arm, was taken to Penn Presbyterian Hospital for treatment. He's in stable condition.
One of the officers sustained a minor injury and was treated and released.
Fourteen bullet casings were found by the vehicle confirming the gun shots police heard. The weapon has not been recovered and a search warrant for the car is pending.
After the shooting, police say a woman called, threatening to kill the officers who shot her brother. Investigators figured out quickly that call allegedly came from a woman right there at the scene. She admitted making the call and threats, police say, and was placed in custody for terroristic threats.
Internal affairs is investigating the shooting by the officer. Routinely, that officer will be on administrative duty pending the outcome of the internal affairs preliminary investigation.
A 17-year-old surrendered to Philadelphia police Saturday morning after being accused of shooting a Good Samaritan trying to break up a robbery in the heart of one of the city's toniest downtown neighborhoods, Rittenhouse Square.
The victim, identified only as a 39-year-old man, was taken to a nearby hospital Tuesday night in critical condition for four bullet wounds to the mid-section, Chief Inspector Scott Small said. He was expected to live, said Small.
Small said the victim rode his bike up to a robbery in progress. Two gunmen were in the middle of robbing a group of people, he said.
Witnesses to the shooting, which occurred at the park along Walnut Street between 18th and 19th streets, took to social media to say gunshots could be heard from sidewalk cafes lining the park. Video from some passersby showed crowded dinner tables on the warm October night.
On Wednesday, Philadelphia Police Lt. John Stanford said police issued a warrant for the arrest of a 17-year-old. Officials said the teen's parents cooperated in the investigation.
The suspect has not been identified since he is a minor. Police also continued Wednesday to search for a second male who had a gun during the robbery but didn't open fire, said investigators.
The robbery victims all know each other and cooperated with the investigation, said Stanford.
