[quote]WEST PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Seven people were shot, including two police officers, after an ambush-style attack that led to a fatal shootout in West Philadelphia. A civilian and the gunman are dead.
It all started around 11:20 p.m. Friday on the 5200 block of Sansom Street.
Police say Sgt. Sylvia Young, a 19-year veteran with the Philadelphia Police Department, was sitting in her patrol car when she was ambushed by the suspect.
She was shot eight times, mostly in the left arm. Police say her bullet-proof vest protected her during the assault.
The suspect fled on foot, and police gave chase.
Police say the suspect then fired shots into Maximum Level Lounge, located on the 5100 block of Sansom Street, striking a security guard in the leg.
The suspect reportedly used a woman as a human shield to protect himself from officers. He then shot her in the leg.
The suspect then fled to 48th and Walnut, police say, where he fired shots into a white vehicle.
Two occupants, a man and a woman, were hit in the chest.
The victims were taken to the hospital where the woman was later pronounced dead. The man remains in critical condition.
The chase continued and culminated with a shootout between the suspect and police.
A University of Pennsylvania police officer, identified as 56-year-old Eddie Miller, was was hit in the leg and buttocks.
The suspect was shot and killed.
Both police officers were rushed to Penn Presbyterian Medical Center in stable condition. They are reportedly awake and talking.
In a press conference, Commissioner Richard Ross said police found a note at the scene stating the suspect hated cops and probation officers.

What a piece of shit, good riddance that he was killed.
This is basically a terrorist attack, these need to be condemned rather than shrugged off and never picked up upon by the media because it wasnt another "white cop shoots black man".
Its only getting worse and the most that Obama has done when it comes to making a statement about them is trying to push is anti gun agenda
Thoughts have to be with the families of the victims. Just another awful incident.
People surprised the anti-police rhetoric is leading to anti-police violence. I wish people would have realized that sooner. It's the same shit with mass shootings, we glorify it so it keeps happening. We demonize police, so unstable people go attack police.
Very sad the woman had to die like that, I can't imagine how that man feels. Just driving along the road and some fucker runs up and starts shooting the both of you. They're not even cops, why bring them into it?

This isn't basically a terrorist attack, it [i]is[/i] a terrorist attack. Plain and simple. This is domestic terrorism. Violence against government and civilians to attain a political goal of demonizing and inciting violence against police.
You can bet there is an alarming number of people right now who are applauding this guy. These anti-police radicals love this stuff. They don't care about the civilians; as long as people are trying to kill cops, they can and will justify it. Plastering his face on the media only gives him more attention and makes him a martyr for their cause.
Damned if you do, damned if you don't...
This isn't just another police-focused shooting. This dickhead actually went way out of his way to shoot up any innocent civilians that happened to be nearby. No beating around the bush with this one, it was a terrorist attack through and through and I'm extremely thankful they got him before it got worse.

Worst part is fucking idiot people are still gonna use this to perpetuate their "race war".

Dispicable, thoughts and prayers go to the victims and their families
Absolutely horrible. Makes me sick to think that people would go out and do this sort of thing.
Before we say terrorism the Philly PD have said that the note he left behind was completely unhinged and barely lucid. He seemed to have a grudge with one officer in general.
Basically this git is a whackjob and wasn't doing this to kill cops. He did this because he was insane.
Human shield? He must hate more people than just police...
:snip:
Fucking disgusting actions honestly. Just glad the vests saved the officers.
terrorist attacks must have some political motive for them to count as such technically.
[QUOTE]Commissioner Richard Ross said police found a note at the scene stating the suspect hated cops and probation officers.[/QUOTE]
and I think this would count.
now let us watch as absolutely none of the media shall talk about this to the general public
