Philadelphia Police Commissioner Richard Ross says, “Other than the rantings he had in that letter, we don’t know what he was motivated by”.
Detectives are investigating whether Glenn was linked to or inspired by outside groups or accomplices, but so far there is no evidence that he did not act alone, Ross said.
“He carried out one of the most violent acts in Philly in a long time”, Ross said. Investigators were trying to track the origins of the weapon, which had an obliterated serial number. The woman died, and the 36-year-old man was in critical condition, but expected to survive, Ross said. But our officers turned out okay, and hopefully the civilians will turn out okay.”I can not say enough about the response of the police officers last night”. “He was well-known to the police”. Miller was also shot, but remains in stable condition.
A “rambling” note was found at the scene of the overnight rampage that police believe was written by the suspect.
“It is absolutely miraculous that she is alive”, Ross said. One Philadelphia Police Department office and one University of Pennsylvania police officer were shot Friday night by “an individual driven by hatred”, according to Philadelphia Police Department public information office John Stanford. He then opened fire into a vehicle, killing a 25-year-old female, Ross said.
He discharged further rounds into a auto, striking a man and woman inside, police said. The suspect was then shot in an alley by other officers.
The shooting spree late Friday left at least seven people injured – two police officers and five civilians, police said.
A gunman with a reported hatred of law enforcement went on a deadly tear late Friday in Philadelphia, ambushing a police sergeant and firing rounds into a tavern and a auto before police shot him dead, authorities said. The chase continued and culminated with a shootout between the suspect and police. “This was a horrific night”, the commissioner said. He said police believe only the gunman was involved.
Young, a 19-year veteran of the force, was struck in her left arm and her protective vest. All of the other five victims are said to be in stable condition.
Police earlier said a suspect was in custody, but media outlets are reporting a suspect was shot and killed.
He said Ed Miller, a former police officer who is now a member of the police. Police say 46-year-old Sgt. Sylvia Young, a 19-year veteran with the Philadelphia Police Department, was sitting in her patrol auto when she was ambushed by Glenn.
ATLANTA (AP) – Lines formed at gas stations across the South on Saturday and drivers who were able to find fuel had to pay more for it in some cases, as prices edged up following a pipeline spill in Alabama.
After shooting the sergeant, then attempting to flee, Glenn shot a security guard and a patron at a bar.
Two of the shooting victims were police officers. The officer was identified as Ofc.
Nicholas Glenn, 25, has been named as the man who shot six people, after Nicholas wrote about his hatred of police in a letter.
