Philadelphia police say the deceased suspect was found with a fake badge around his neck and a gun and zip ties in his possession
A Philadelphia resident flipped the script on an accused home intruder impersonating a police officer Sunday, shooting and killing the suspect while sending his accomplice running from the scene.
The incident happened just after 10 p.m. in the 7200 block of Battersby Street in the Mayfair neighborhood of north Philadelphia. A 25-year-old man told investigators two male suspects approached him outside the duplex and claimed to be police officers. They then forced their way inside, placed zip ties on the victim and started to threaten his life and demand money, police said.
“They tied his hands with zip ties around his back and threatened to kill him if he made any sudden moves. That’s when our victim realized these individuals were not police officers,” Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small said, according to WPVI-TV.
The 25-year-old managed to free his hands and reach for a gun in his pocket. He fired toward the accused home intruders, striking one of them three times. Officers from the 15th District who responded to the scene found a man outside the front doorway with gunshot wounds to the head, chest and arm.
Here’s why ‘no-knock’ entries should be forbidden!
A real cop could have killed the homeowner – with no consequences. Here, the homeowner was able to defend himself – with the proper consequences…..
