Still ongoing. Live feed...

 

[PSUcup1]

Jesus. How awful.

 

[RickinDayton]

4 or 5 police officers wounded and taken to Temple Univ Hospital & Einstein hospital. One suspect supposedly in custody, but another still hold up they believe in a house. Witnesses indicate hearing more than 100 shots fired. Please pray for quick resolution and for those wounded.

Sorry, I didn't see the other thread.

Just some clarification. Temple has suggested a shutdown of their health and science campus, which is separate from the main campus. To give some context that most people could understand, it would be as if there was an active shooting incident in Boalsburg. Penn State would be aware of it and monitoring, but they wouldn't lock down main campus.

The Nicetown/Tioga section is not in center city Philadelphia, or an area that anybody that is commuting to work would be in, unless they worked at Temple Hospital (or affiliated companies/organizations). It's an area of Philadelphia that most folks avoid, if they can.

reports are that the cops were serving a warrant on a drug case. so, FWIW, it isn't a nut indiscriminately shooting pedestrians.

 

[Delco Lion]

Chanel 6 is reporting that none of the officers injuries are life threatening.

That is good news.

Sounded like a bad guy shot at cops doing cop business. But the news decides to plant the phrase du jour on it and call it an “Active Shooter”. In that case, there will be Active Shooters in every city this weekend.

Save us from this mess

 

[PSUcup1]

Apparently 6 shot. At least 1 dead

I believe it’s still going on.

 

[Nitt1300]

it's pretty simple- until the shooter is no longer active, he's an active shooter

Edit. Apparently one was shot in the head but was not killed.

The media labeled someone actively shooting at cops an active shooter, the horror.

Yes, not so nice!! It wasn’t nice 30 years ago either!!

I had a delivery route through all of north of center city. During my training my boss told me to lock the doors and never go down streets with furniture in the road because they are set up to car jack you. I saw a couple of those situations. Tioga was bad, but never had a problem. Scariest moment I had was when I backed into a parked Mercedes in Huntingpark/Little Puerto Rico section, but that is another story.

Hope the officers pull through.

This is one of the many mass shootings that politicians won't complain about

Yep. As long as they label everyone accurately right. That’s all we are, people to be placed into our categories and packaged for political arguments

You know damn well that “Active Shooter” is the term used for a mentally ill person running rampant on innocent people.

The news exploited this and used the term for a drug bust in which the drug dealer was getting busted and shot at police. If you can’t see that manipulation, just put your head down. Can’t wait to see the spin wherein the police are in the wrong here.

Like I said, as long as they break into their regular programming for every murder which is done by an “active shooter”.

So explain to me who an “inactive shooter” would be. Is that all the other millions of sane, law abiding gun owners?

I assume it’s a dig at conservative, red blooded gun owners...

 

[Erial_Lion]

Someone that was shooting, but has been contained.

If they are still shooting at police and have officers stuck in the house, I’d think that is pretty clearly an “active shooter”.

 

[Delco Lion]

Good news on the six police officers who were shot. Five were shot in the arms or legs, and one has a graze wound to the head. All six were treated and released.

We're really debating the meaning of "active shooter"?

Guys, just eat the chicken sammiches.

I mean, if your response to news of police or anyone being shot anywhere is 'THAT'S NOT AN ACTIVE SHOOTER!' you need a break.

I know - what a waste of time. It's fall camp - and so much college football to coach via the interwebs.

Perfect.

I think you mean ACTIVE SHOOTER (™)

Hmm...if he was shooting as a result of the warrant, would that make him a "reactive shooter?" (or, if he shot once before)

 

[BobPSU92]

How would you define a Passive Shooter? Is that like watching TV, eating popcorn with one hand and shooting with the other?

 

[BobPSU92]

Hmm...if he was shooting as a result of the warrant, would that make him a "reactive shooter?" (or, if he shot once before)

Police: “We’re charging you as an active shooter.”

Shooter: “Wait! He started it!”

Police: “O.K. We’re charging you as a Reactive Shooter.”

Shooter: “That works for me.”

How many shootings in Chicago last weekend? I didn't here the number on CNN.
