Several suspects have been arrested in connection with a shooting that wounded a Philadelphia police officer Wednesday afternoon, authorities said.
Officials said the officer was shot at least twice after pulling over a vehicle shortly after 3:30 p.m. Wednesday in West Philadelphia and was taken to a hospital in critical condition.
First Deputy Commissioner John Stanford said the officer approached the passenger side of the vehicle and a struggle ensued with a passenger who opened fire, hitting the officer in the abdomen just under his vest.
Earlier this week, Rev. Greg Lewis, an assistant pastor at St. Gabriel's Church of God In Christ in Milwaukee, physically carried one of his parishioners to the polls inside the city's Midtown early voting center to cast a ballot in Wisconsin's upcoming Democratic primary. Supported by crutches and the pastor himself, the disabled man was one of many residents Lewis has helped vote this cycle.

Officials were able to prevent cars from driving onto the bridge just before the accident, but eight construction workers remained on the structure and plummeted into the river below. Here's how the events unfolded.
