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.

Temple University says a lockdown is in effect for the Health Sciences Center Campus due to the police presence.

no, they may have ended it
More shots now...
Officers are warning bystanders in the area:
If you can see US, the shooter(s) can see YOU. Move back. Move out of the way.
Per Twitter Facebook streaming live is set to private.
MULTIPLE SHOTS FIRED
So the live stream may be ended.
But Suspect still shooting.
If he has a hoody and skittles, big law suit coming.
Hey,
Why don’t they drop an incendiary bomb on the roof?
May God protect and help all law enforcement officers involved. Amen.
I stupidly tried to see what Fox (Bret Baier) and then CNN ( my own fault) said. Wolf Blitzer interrupted twice to say “But the subject has to come up that gun control has been delayed by President Trump and the Republicans and this story ties in with that lack of gun control....”
SHAMELESS evil.
“Jeffery Who?”
Exactly. Dude is apparently even broadcasting it live on like Facebook or something.
I know when I am raided by police, I always have time to fire up the ole Facebook live......
They are not even trying to hide their shenanigans anymore.
I am pretty sure there are a couple of narcotics officers trapped in the building with possible hostages or perps they arrested. That is why they haven’t made a move yet I do believe.
I take it shooting not in Amish area of PA?
I was in Philly when they did drop a bomb on the MOVE house.
The 2 hurt in the accident, Fox local said soon as one got out the car a street pedestrian hit him in the head
Swat team is in place. Still active.
I looked up Black and Nobel ——a Cultural Center that ships books to prisons and provides a variety of products.
The No Left Turn sign I believe means
If you can read this sign you’re as far left as America gets. 99% anti-Trump every time. This is the mostest of the leftiest the left gets. Yessir.
Philly.com is reporting that 2 officers and 2 other handcuffed individuals are trapped inside the house, 2nd floor.
Suspect on 1st floor was firing into the ceiling.
“Latest” from CNN:
At least 6 officers shot in Philadelphia standoff
From CNN’s Mark Morales
https://www.cnn.com/us/live-news/philadelphia-shooting-08-14-19/index.html
Six police officers have been shot, according to a federal law enforcement official.
The officers suffered non-life threatening injuries, the source said.
Philadelphia police said the suspect was still shooting.
So far, Trump has not been blamed by CNN, but it is early.
These shooters are carving out a “no go zone” The drug gangs are not just staking out corners from other gangs they are now staking out whole neighborhoods that will be policing free zones. Cops will not be able to go except in force and even then will not be given a go ahead for fear of mass casualties. These no go zones already exist all over western Europe where middle eastern crime syndicates effectively govern many neighborhoods. The enemy is now inside the wire.
That would explain lack of tear gas use.
