Investigators say officers responded to a report of shots fired around 3 a.m. Thursday in West Philadelphia. Police spotted an armed man who they say refused to drop his weapon. Two officers fired seven rounds, strike the man once before taking him into custody.
A short time later officers found a man with six gunshot wounds on the steps of a nearby house. Authorities say it appears he was shot by the other man.
Both men were hospitalized in critical condition. Police did not release their identities.
The investigation is continuing.
