There are numerous reports of an "active shooter" in the Nicetown neighborhood of Philadelphia.

Several police officer have been injured. It is unclear, at this time, how many other people have been shot or killed.

We do not know if this was an ambush or something else.

The Nicetown neighborhood is in urban decay with many abandoned buildings, according to wikipedia.

The population is predominantly black and Hispanic, about 85% black and 7% hispanic, with a sprinkling of others.

Reporter stated “no member of the public injured”. To his knowledge.

I wonder if it might be a .22 rimfire.

Hard to believe it would be a centerfire, and have non-life threatening injuries...

But that is a very vague description of wounds.

I am hearing police are attempting to evacuate people from a nearby business who had sheltered in place.

"If the deep state determines that it will take 20 mass casualty incidents a day to inflame public opinion enough to get rid of the Second, we’ll get 20 mass casualty incidents a day."

I tend to agree with you. If not this one, then others. The Dems and their propaganda media are stoking violence and hatred at every opportunity. They will trigger many attacks and will blame Trump and "white supremacists" for all of them. If they have to burn the country to get what they want, they are eagerly lighting the fires.

The only thing better than throwing commies out of helicopters is dropping military satchel charges on commies:

Philadelphia is just northeast Baltimore.

Or maybe West Camden.

Nicetown has not been nice for over 100 years. Any parent who would send their child to Temple University is a fool. The entire area is a war zone especially after dark.

Time to change the town’s name!!

I’m guessing Temple University is a college in that town?

Anyone who would send their kids to a public school in this political environment should be charged with child abuse and child endangerment. The ‘RATS have the GOOBS on the ropes and they will continue their “mass shootings” until they bring down the Bill of Rights. Enroll your kids in an online course until the ‘RATS get over their commie tantrum.
