HUNTING PARK – July 14, 2012 – Philadelphia Police say they were forced to shoot and
kill a suspect after he allegedly pointed his gun at officers during a traffic stop. It happened
around 11:30 Friday night in the city’s Hunting Park section. Police tell Action News that a
sergeant from the 25th district pulled over a 28-year old man on the 4400 block of Rising
