He shot a black female officer in her patrol auto 15 times, ran across the street to a bar, shot the bouncer and shot a woman in the leg and used her as a human shield from pursuing officers.
The bystanders in the auto, a man and a woman, were both hospitalized before the woman in her 20s was pronounced dead, The Inquirer reported.
Fox29 reported that one of the injured officers was a female Philadelphia Police sergeant, while the other was a University of Pennsylvania Police officer.
A 25-year-old woman in the auto was struck seven times in the torso, police said, and died of her injuries.
Philadelphia Police Commissioner Richard Ross said it all started around 11:20 p.m. when a man targeting police officers walked up to Sergeant Sylvia Young’s police auto located at 52nd and Sansom streets and opened fire on the officer. Miller was shot in the pelvis and right ankle.
“If an individual can harm a law-enforcement officer they can harm just about anybody, and that’s what he did”, the commissioner said.
