I don't think most people understand the dailiness of #gunviolence in America. This incident happened within less than a mile of our house. There have been three men shot to death in front of our house in the past 4yrs as I've recorded in real time on here. That's madness.

The good news about the #PhillyShooting is no one was killed. Women and kids were extricated safely. The 6 cops had minor gunshots wounds, the hostages were safely extricated and the shooter was unharmed. That's all amazing. But the shooter fired hundreds of rounds over 8hrs.

This is another story of civilians with arsenals of weapons. That should be illegal. The cop who was shot in the head missed death by a literal inch. He has two small kids. In the #ElPasoShooting and #DaytonShooting more than a dozen kids were left motherless, some newborns.

It’s pandemonium:
“GET THESE GUYS OUT OF HERE, IT’S CHAOTIC OUT HERE!”

They’re trying to get SWAT in but it’s a mess (Broadcastify link on @alertpage tweet) #PhillyClusterfuck
Another officer shot. (In the arm)

“Ok, the guy’s still firing out the bedroom window”

It sounds like cops are getting in cops way. There’s a lot of them & a guy shooting. Having trouble getting shot cops to medics because... you know, SHOOTING. #PhillyFUBAR
“We don’t need anyone else out down here”

“Shooter’s still in the dining room talking”

‘STAIRWELL: “Shooter has something propped up against the door. He’s on a cellphone talking to his girlfriend”’ #PhillyFUBAR
