A police officer has been ambushed and shot multiple times by a man who said he was carrying out the act “in the name of Islam”.
Philadelphia police commissioner Richard Ross stated that Officer Jesse Hartnett was in his patrol car at approximately 11.30pm when the incident happened.
A gunman fired a total of 13 shots through the driver-side window. Despite sustaining serious injuries, Officer Harnett was still able to send a desperate message for help via his police radio . “Shots fired! I’m shot! I’m bleeding heavily,” the 33-year-old can be heard shouting.
“When you look at the video, this is one of the scariest things I’ve ever seen,” Commissioner Ross said. “This guy tried to execute the police officer. The police officer had no idea he was coming. It’s amazing he’s alive.”
