Article snippet: CBS 3’s John Holden reports that the officers’ injuries are all non-life-threatening: NBC 10 reports that there was a pitched gun battle. A mother who lives in the area where the confrontation occurred said, “It was like a war. Like the scenes that you see in war. The guns, the fire, the noise. It was like bombs going off simultaneously at a time where people are having dinner.” A fifth officer was also injured, but his wounds are reportedly not firearm related. ***UPDATE 6:30 PM ET*** Philadelphia Police Sergeant Eric Gripp is asking media to “stop broadcasting the tactical position of officers,” as the scene in Philadelphia is still active. AWR Hawkins is an award-winning Second Amendment columnist for Breitbart News and the writer/curator of Down Range with AWR Hawkins, a weekly newsletter focused on all things Second Amendment, also for Breitbart News.
