An altercation at a Fairmount bar ended when police shot a man after he allegedly fired at them. Investigators say this all started after the man was denied access to the bar. KerriCorrado reports
“He tried to gain access to the bar and the folks inside, I don’t know if they either closed the door on him or just told him that he wasn’t allowed to come in and it looks like he fired at least one shot inside of the bar,” Philadelphia Police Sgt. Eric Gripp said.
Police say that’s when they received multiple 911 calls for help. They say the man is known in the neighborhood. “Officers arrived and they saw an individual outside of a corner bar here and he was holding a handgun by his side. The officers exited their vehicle, drew their weapons and ordered the male multiple times to drop his weapon,” Gripp said.Vigil Held For Hyram Hill, Son Of Police Officer Killed Outside North Philly Corner Store: 'I Still Can't Believe He's Gone'
