Onlookers were seen taunting and throwing things at Philadelphia
police Wednesday night amid a wild shootout and subsequent
standoff that saw six cops wounded, and video posted online
shows one woman shoving a police officer making his way to the
scene.
Philadelphia’s KYW-TV reporter Alexandria Hoff described on
Twitter Wednesday night how a crowd of people bordering the
blocked off active shooter scene allegedly harassed officers.
"I mentioned this at 10 and since I was harassed during that
live shot, I’ll mention it here, too," Hoff said on Twitter. "A
major moment of disappointment this evening was watching a crowd
of people taunt police officers, laughing and yelling at them in
the midst of the gunfire."

“I should add -- 98% of people here on scene were respectful and
concerned. That moment was just such a startling thing to see in
the middle of something so chaotic,” she added in a separate
tweet.
In another video posted by Breaking911, one woman can be seen
shoving an officer from behind as he passes through the crowd.
Others in the crowd yell and throw objects at police as they
enter the blocked off area amid the active standoff scene.

Several officers with the Narcotics Strike Force were serving a
warrant at the multifamily home -- in connection with what may
have been a drug-related offense -- when things "went awry
almost immediately," and the shooter opened fire, Police
Commissioner Richard Ross Jr. said.
The dramatic shootout in Philadelphia stretched on for more than
eight hours as six officers were shot. Two officers were trapped
on the second floor of the building as the gunman shot through
the first-floor ceiling and outside at responding law
enforcement.
After withstanding more than five hours of gunfire, SWAT
officers managed to get the two officers and three hostages out
of the residence safely. The gunman eventually surrendered just
after midnight Thursday, exiting the residence with his hands in
the air and with a police light shining on him, surrounded by a
cloud of tear gas.
