PHILADELPHIA - Police shot and killed a juvenile who investigators say opened fire on officers Tuesday night in South Philadelphia.
Philadelphia Police Department Sergeant Eric Gripp told reporters that four plainclothes officers in an unmarked were patrolling near the 1700 block of Barbara Street around 7 p.m.
when they spotted two juveniles on bikes. According to investigators, officers noticed that one of the juveniles was armed with a handgun and turned on the emergency lights to confront him.
As police were getting out of the car, Gripp said the armed juvenile fired a shot at the passenger's side window and narrowly missed striking the officers.
