Philadelphia Police Shoot Armed Suspect

Chalk up another win for the good guys.

PHILADELPHIA -- A man being investigated after a car stop got out, pulled a gun and fired at officers before being shot himself Monday night in North Philadelphia, police said.

The incident occurred shortly before 7 p.m. at 27th and Cumberland streets in North Philadelphia.

Police said no officers were injured.

According to police, uniformed officers stopped a vehicle at that location and were investigating a man in his 20s who was inside the car. At one point, the man exited the car, produced a gun and allegedly fired toward the officers.

One officer returned fire and struck the man in the head, police said. He was taken Temple University Hospital and later listed in critical condition.

Police said a weapon was recovered at the scene. (H/T - NBC10)
