There Is A Manhunt Going On!

Unfortunately crime is a very big issue in the city of Philadelphia. There have even been jokes made because Philadelphia is known as the city of brotherly love and lots of people like to make jokes about that.

There is a major manhunt going on today because a police officer got shot. At the area of 66th & Broad Street (where Broad Street and Old York Road meet) a police officer was shot in the head as he entered a Dunkin Donuts store. (Before you start making jokes about cops and donuts you should know that in this case the policeman was doing a routine check at the Dunkin Donuts because it had been robbed before.

According to the news this happened around 10:30 this morning. It seems that the policeman entered the shop just as a robbery was taking place. The robber shot the police officer in the head and then took his gun and then fled.

So the police have launched a massive manhunt for this man! Schools and daycares in the area were put on lockdown and the parents that were concerned about their children could check the news and find out the status of the schools and daycare centers where their children were.

I live near the area - well near enough to hear the police helicopters in the sky and they are still there as of late this afternoon.

Of course you can find out what is going on now concerning this incident by checking either your local news or KYW radio.
