A gunman who fired 13 shots at a Philadelphia police officer as he sat in his marked cruiser at an intersection pledged allegiance to ISIS after the attack.
The man, who has not been named, opened fire at Officer Jesse Hartnett as he sat in his car late Thursday. Hartnett, who was wearing a bullet vest, returned fire and sustained three gunshot wounds to his left arm.
At a press conference today it was revealed the gunman, who has a criminal record, used a police handgun reported stolen in 2013.
The officer was in his cruiser in West Philadelphia when the shooter approached from the sidewalk and began firing, eventually shooting through the driver's-side window as he got closer.
'I'm bleeding heavily!' Hartnett, a veteran of five years on the force, shouted into his police radio when he called in to report shots fired.
Hartnett underwent surgery early Friday at Presbyterian Hospital and was expected to make a full recovery. Good news.
There was no immediate word on the suspect's condition. Officer Christine O'Brien said the man was stuck at least once in the buttock.
