BREAKING UPDATE: A man died after being shot by police while an officer is recovering after being shot in the hand during a struggle inside a home in Philadelphia's Kensington neighborhood, officials said. New details HERE:
The ordeal began shortly after 7 p.m. Wednesday when 24th District police officers responded to a report of gunshots along the 2800 block of Ruth Street. When the officers arrived they found shell casings on the ground in front of a property and heard a commotion coming from inside the home.
The officers repeatedly told the man to leave the crawl space but he refused, investigators said. The officers then struggled with the man as they continued to try and get him to leave, according to police. One of the officers used a Taser on the man but it was not effective, officials said. As the man tried to take the Taser from the officer, a shot was fired, according to investigators. One of the officers, a 27-year-old man, then fell to the floor, suffering from a gunshot wound to the hand.
