Armed man shot by officers after traffic stop in Southwest Philly

A routine traffic stop in southwest Philadelphia turning violent this morning. Police say officers shot an armed man. And Greg, you spoke with some shaken up neighbors today. Yeah, I mean, Shiba, this was a wild morning, and this officer-involved shooting all transpired right here near the intersection of Eastwick and Lindbergh in southwest Philadelphia. Now, as you were mentioning, I mean, there were a lot of people that were driving around this area. We had an opportunity to speak with one man who was driving through this area, and he didn't necessarily even know initially what was even going on. I was coming this way, which is 63rd and Eastwick. I come off of 63rd. And I was coming down this way and I got stopped at Big Turn Place. Little did John McGonigal know, he was in the middle of an officer-involved shooting this morning in southwest Philadelphia. I saw what seemed to be an altercation and the shots were fired. All right. McGonigal quickly began recording this video on the Citizens app, showcasing the chaotic aftermath. Sky Fox over the scene, where Philadelphia police say just before 7.30 a.m., two officers in full uniform and a marked police car pulled over an adult man in a white Chevy Malibu near the intersection of Eastwick and Lindbergh in southwest Philadelphia. Authorities say while conducting the stop, the man was acting very erratic. When officers told the man to get out of the vehicle, a physical altercation began. I saw this, what seemed to be somebody trying to get away. And then I saw the sparks from the gun. Police say officers tried to tase the man multiple times, but it didn't have an effect. At some point in the fight, the man was able to get to his vehicle and pull out a firearm with an extended magazine. That's when police say one officer fired his weapon, hitting the man. And I heard pop, pop. Pop, pop, four times. Teresa Mangeluso lives nearby and was just waking up to hear the sounds of gunfire. I thought it was a car backfiring, but then in the back of my mind, I knew it was gunshots. And there was a space in between. It wasn't like... You heard four consecutive shots, they... but there was space Police say the man was taken to the hospital for surgery. Meanwhile, neither of the officers were injured during the incident. You can't go around shooting police officers. Recently, we had one who died and one who was shot 12 times. It's a great day for law enforcement to be able to defuse the situation, despite how they had to do it. You know, you know, the old saying, you play with fire, you're going to get burned. So, you know, it's a shame for the suspect. It's a shame for his family. Now, police say all of this information is preliminary. Now, they did mention the fact that both of the officers had their body worn cameras and they were on. Also, the dash cam in their vehicles were on as well. So they are hoping that will help in this investigation. Sheba. All right, Greg, thank you.
