I literally just watched one cop get shot in the head & one shot in the arm live on Philly news channels & people still don’t want to support the police force. Hope everyone gets out of this situation safely

Looks like a suspect has been arrested in the Philly shootout. 5 police officers have been shot. One was injured in a car accident on the scene. They are all expected to survive. pic.twitter.com/zlcELGaIqs
