Drive-by shooting kills man; plainclothes officers fire shots at suspects



Two plainclothes Philadelphia police officers discharged their weapons on Sunday night after they witnessed a drive-by shooting that claimed one man’s life, according to officials.

It happened around 6:42 p.m. near the intersection of East Pastorius and Baynton Street while the 14th District officers were investigating an unrelated homicide in the city’s Germantown section.

Investigators say a dark gray or silver Nissan SUV pulled onto the block and two or three suspects started shooting at 31-year-old man who was walking down the street. Police say the officer’s car was struck.

“The officers were in an unmarked vehicle in the backdrop of this shooting, and in fact, their vehicle was struck one time,” said Philadelphia Police Inspector D.F. Pace. “They weren’t sure whether they were being ambushed or if this was a shooting of another nature. They then identified the vehicle and began returning fire.”

  4. I feel like if everyone had guns it wouldn’t be as many shootings. If you know it’s a 100 percent chance someone will shoot back you’ll probably just let the issue go.

  5. Wait didn’t the police chief fire the last two plainclothes officers that returned fire on a suspect that basically tried to kill them. I guess it was because of the suspects age. You can’t have your cake and eat it too
