Man shot during altercation with police during traffic stop in Southwest Philadelphia: Officials

In Southwest Philadelphia, a man was shot by police after getting into an altercation with officers. This happened at around 730 this morning at Lindbergh Boulevard and Eastbrook Avenue. Action News reporter Cheyenne Corrine joins us live at the scene and Cheyenne, you have the breaking details. What can you tell us? Lydia, what Philadelphia police say that this escalated while two of their officers were attempting to make a traffic stop. You can actually still see that car here behind me. The crime scene unit is currently processing it for evidence. We're told that multiple shots were fired. The driver, though, was shot once by one of the officers and is now in surgery. Philadelphia police say those two officers in a marked vehicle stopped a white Chevy Malibu just before 7:30 this morning. This is in southwest Philadelphia near Lindenburg Boulevard. In Eastwick Ave, police tell us the driver, who is an adult male, became erratic and was asked to step out of the car. Now, according to officials, a physical altercation then ensued, which led to the shooting. Both officers warned him multiple times, attempted to tase the male. That taser did not have effect. At some point during the fight, he made it back to his vehicle and he produced a firearm. That firearm, we now know, had an extended magazine that was loaded. As he pulled it out during the course of the confrontation, one officer did discharge. And the driver again who has not been identified at this time is in surgery, but his condition is unknown. Neither officers though were injured, but the officer who did fire their weapon is on administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation. But we are told that not only were the body camera video footage available at that time, so was the dash camera. So investigators say that this is going to be really critical in their investigation. We're live here in southwest Philadelphia. Cheyenne Corrine, Channel 6. Action News, back to you. Cheyenne, thanks for those late-breaking details.
