A suspect is dead and three Philadelphia SWAT officers are in the hospital after gunfire broke out while authorities were serving a homicide arrest warrant early Wednesday morning.
Police say the 19-year-old was wanted for a homicide that occurred in August, and say he was responsible for least two armed robberies over the past two years.
"These officers sign up to do a job, it's to protect and serve, but not to take gunfire," Stanford said. "At some point it becomes enough, and I think we've reached that point."As gun violence continues to rise across the city, Stanford says that "some of these people need to be in jail." "The bottom line is we need everybody," Stanford added. "Parents, family members; this is an all-hands-on-deck situation, where everybody has to be held accountable."
