Philadelphia police shot and killed a suspect they believe is a teenager Tuesday night after he allegedly shot at four officers, authorities said.
The incident began around 7:20 p.m. in South Philadelphia, where four officers dressed in plainclothes were in an unmarked car on a surveillance assignment, Philadelphia Police Sgt. Eric Gripp said.
The officers saw two boys who appeared to be teenagers on bicycles and spotted one of them in possession of a handgun, Gripp said. The officers turned on their car's emergency lights and began exiting the vehicle when one of the boys allegedly fired at the officers, Gripp said during a news conference.
