A day after a West Philadelphia shooting rampage left two police officers wounded, a woman dead and three other people injured, Philadelphia Police again found themselves facing gunfire late Saturday.
Officers stopped two men for investigation on downtown Philadelphia's South Street near 9th shortly before midnight Saturday, according to police, when they suspected the men of smoking marijuana. Police said when the officers approached the men, the pair fled, with officers on foot chasing them.
That's when police say at least one of the men pulled out a gun and fired at least four shots at the pursuing officers. Police did not return fire, and no injuries were reported. Officers managed to catch the two suspects and place them under arrest.
No official charges have been announced.
