Philly Gunman Had AR-15 & Handgun

PHILADELPHIA (AP) – Philadelphia’s police commissioner says a gunman who barricaded himself in a rowhouse and exchanged gunfire with police for hours had a military-style AR-15 and a handgun.  Richard Ross told reporters Thursday that police still do not have access to the crime scene because tear gas was used there, so he is not sure if there were other weapons.
Six officers were wounded in the standoff and have since been released from hospitals.  Ross said: “That was an incident unlike anything I’ve seen in my 30 years.”
