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.
I lived in Willow Grove near the Fairgrounds as a kid.
A couple of women removed from the house for safety.
It appeared they were in Muslim dress.
They said the police kept them safe the whole time.
Where’s Ramona Africa?...
Yep. It’s where Bill Cosby learned to mix drinks...
Probably living on the main line with all the money Wilson Goode paid for bombing their neighborhood
This sort of thing is to be expected when you have a DA who boasts that he’s a “defense lawyer with clout” and thinks Black Lives Matter is necessary to protect the public from the police - another Soros contribution to the deterioration of the civil culture.....
I hate the Main Line. Lots of amazing houses though.
Old, old money...
Per local news. 2 officers trapped on second floor of the house and suspect is on first floor shooting at police outside.
Actually in the early 1800s Nicetown was quite exclusive, not so much the last 100+ years
I wasn’t around then. At least not in my current incarnation.
Let me guess, also another FredocRAT stronghold.
I saw video from one of the local affiliates showing police escorting hijab wearing folks out of the building. Could be another religion of peace thing unfolding. Of course since then not one of the networks is showing the footage. Now they’re just saying police had escorted out several females.
Our Republic is doomed with all this PC crapola. Tell it like it really is I say.
Was ever a place with a moe ironic name than ‘Niceville’.
A lot of “nice” neighborhoods become “not nice” under Democrat administrations.
This area is called the “badlands” is the cynosure of drug trade in Philadelphia and east coast.
wild speculation by talking heads.
Nicetown is the name of a neighborhood in North Philly.
Temple is a large university in the area.
Since the gun control politicians are already starting, do we want to take the over/under on how many arrests/convictions the shooter has?
I know a couple parents who pulled their daughter out of Temple University in Phila. because it was so dangerous in that area.
An area of Philly packed to the gills with diversity.
All the pleasant sounding neighborhoods in Philly are free kill zones.
