Summary
- A 37-year-old man shot by Philadelphia police on Funston St Friday evening has died, police announced Saturday morning. Around 5:15 PM Friday, multiple 911 callers reported a man standing in the street with a gun on the 5100 block of Funston St; officers at 52nd and Race were also flagged down by a resident.
- Officers found the man holding a handgun and spent about 15 minutes trying to talk him into dropping it as he moved from the street to his porch and then toward an abandoned property next door. When he pointed the gun at officers, seven of them, including three supervisors, opened fire, striking him multiple times. He was rushed to Penn Presbyterian in critical condition and was later pronounced dead.
- No officers or bystanders were hurt, and police do not believe the man fired his weapon. Officers had responded to the same home the night before for a domestic incident involving the man and his partner, which investigators say will be part of the review.
- The seven officers are on administrative duty pending the investigation, per 6abc, the Inquirer and CBS Philadelphia.
