Mayor Jim Kenney and Philadelphia Police Commissioner Richard Ross are heading to Temple University Hospital.

Chopper 3 was over the scene where police could be seen taking a man into custody. It’s not clear what the man’s role was in the incident.

Police say the shooting happened on the 3700 block of North 15th Street, where it’s still an active scene.

Police were first called to the scene for narcotics activity, according to Philadelphia Police Capt. Sekou Kinebrew.

Sources tell CBS3 that the scene is sheer chaos as officers were taking fire. Video from Chopper 3 shows officers with guns drawn at the scene.

There is a large police presence and citizens are advised to avoid the area. Several blocks around the scene have been cordoned off. Most of North Philadelphia is in gridlock due to the police presence.

Lockdown is in effect for Health Sciences Center Campus. Seek shelter. Secure doors. Be silent. Be still. Police are responding.

This perp must have a helluva ammunition stockpile in that house. The press conference said he was still firing at the SWAT vehicles. It also sounded as though the police chief doesn’t know if the trapped officers are unharmed, but he believes they are alive. (Janet Reno may have piloted that unidentified drone the police chased away)

We suspect a white supremacist may have invented the weapon being used in this incident.

Hillary may be called in to scream at the house to drive the shooter to suicide.

My pop grew up in Port Richmond in 20s and 30s. That looked rough when I was a kid in the 60s.

Would love to feel comfortable to drive over there and see where he grew up; but won’t unless armed. Sigh.

Philly Natives are now signaling gang signs to each other in front of the camera man. Hopefully they don’t stomp him.

Philly is perfectly safe if you carry a loaded 38 and can hit a beer can from 60 feet.

Port Richmond is pretty much Kensington.
Go there in a lowered Honda, and have a PR flag hanging from your mirror.

North Philly (anything above Broad Street) for the most part is third world sh*thole demographic mostly Afro and Hispano. Same can be said about venturing West Philly,South West Philly,”East” Philly and most of South Philly. Moreover watch out for Center City at night especially after everybody goes back to the ‘Burbs. Even the celebrated Chestnut Hill section can make you dead on a unfortunate night just going to WaWa. Lastly,forget Fairmount Park System entirely at night. I am not saying concealed carry but Philadelphia doesn’t abide by it so you are S.O.L. Just think,Philadelphia was our founding city! Times have changed.

There are still parts of Port Richmond that are okay. Especially the areas populated by the Polish along the Delaware River.
