The 30-year-old man suspected of shooting and injuring a Philadelphia police officer Thursday night said that he pledges his allegiance to the Islamic State, and that is the reason that he committed the shooting, an official said at a police news conference Friday.
Philadelphia police Officer Jesse Hartnett shouted desperately into his police radio after someone, authorities say, approached his patrol car and shot him as he sat there Thursday night.
“Shots fired! ... I'm bleeding heavily!” Hartnett shouts in a recording of his radio call for backup. “I'm bleeding. Get us another unit out here!”
