At least four Philadelphia police officers were shot in the city’s Nicetown section Wednesday afternoon, officials said, prompting a massive response to the largely residential North Philadelphia neighborhood.
NBC Philadelphia reports that at least one suspect is in custody, according to police. Officers continue to search for a possible second gunman.
Frantic calls from responding officers came in around 4:30 p.m., according to audio obtained via Broadcastify.
“Officer calls for everything you got. SWAT, long gun,” a law enforcement officer can be heard saying on the audio.
“I got an officer shot.”
