Yeah, we used to bike out there. Kingsessing too. We visited a few years ago and the street where they lived (50 years ago), had a guard at one end of the street and a guard at the other. Drug deal heaven. Man, did we get the eyeballs. Scary. Burned out homes and bad dudes. You go to Penn?

My grandad used to visit relatives in Philly in the 1940s-1950s. He is dead, and the America of then is too. My city (Pittsburgh) used to have many nice blue collar areas which are now mostly black and full of crime.

Dressed in what sources say is Muslim garb and wearing a mask, the suspect is seen pointing a gun at the officer's vehicle, while another shows what appears to be the muzzle flash as he fires.

Hartnett was shot three times. The 33-year-old has served on the police force for about five years, his aunt Cynthia Hartnett told the Daily News Friday. He is expected to make a full recovery.

"He's OK. He's going to be OK," she said.

Scary photo! Muslims are fanatical. Until my tagline is implemented this crap will continue.

Commissioner Ross says the suspect has given a full confession, saying he did it in the name of Islam.

“According to him, police bend laws that are contrary to the teachings of the Quran.”

Sources say the suspect’s full confession of the alleged attack was written down and recorded on video.

Police sources identify the suspect as Edward Archer, of Yeadon.

The perp’s birth name is Edward Archer of Yeadon, Pennsylvania. The media so far is not giving out his legal name - which is something else.

Update, 11:15 AM EST: Philly.com reports the shooter has been identified as Edward Archer, 30, of Yeadon.

Update, 1:15 PM: According to Commissioner Ross, the attacker pledged allegiance to the Islamic State.

Also, the gun used in the attack was reportedly stolen, which will be bad news for those who were frantically looking for a way to fold the incident into their gun-control narratives.
