Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw said an officer who was critically injured when a traffic stop escalated to a shooting Wednesday in West Philadelphia is expected to recover.
Investigators said an officer and his partner flanked a vehicle with three inside near the intersection of 60th and Market streets around 3:30 p.m.
Deputy Commissioner Stanford said they believe one of the bullets exited the officer's body and doctors were working to determine there are no serious internal injuries. Outlaw, who was out of town during the shooting, told reporters Wednesday night that two of three people involved in the shooting have been taken into custody.
