(CNN)A Philadelphia police officer is recovering after being shot three times while he was in his patrol car in west Philadelphia on Thursday night, CNN affiliate KYW reported.

The officer was sitting in his car near an intersection when someone fired 13 shots into the driver's side of the vehicle about 11:30 p.m., KYW reported, citing police.

"Shots fired! ... I'm bleeding heavily!" the officer shouts in a recording of his radio call for backup. "I'm bleeding. Get us another unit out here!"

The officer returned fire, striking the alleged shooter, KYW reported. A suspect eventually was arrested and taken to a hospital, according to KYW.

The officer also was taken to a hospital, where he underwent surgery for a broken arm, KYW reported.

Information about the suspect's condition wasn't immediately available.

Philadelphia Police Commissioner Richard Ross told reporters that he saw video of the incident and that it was "absolutely one of the scariest things I've ever seen."

Information on where the video came from wasn't immediately available.

"This guy tried to execute the police officer. The police officer had no idea he was coming," Ross said. "It's amazing he's alive."

Ross said it appears the officer suffered significant nerve damage.

"Fortunately, he's awake. He was coherent. He's OK," Ross said.

It's only through a stroke of luck that the Officer came out of this alive....

I assume the DA is a liberal democrat. Instead of talking about an apparent Islamist terrorist attack, he turns it into politics by talking about gun laws, even though the gun used was a stolen Police gun. These leftists have no shame.

Police: Suspect Confesses To Shooting Officer, Says He Did It In Name Of Islam
January 8, 2016 8:59 AM By Justin Finch


PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – Authorities say a Philadelphia police officer is recovering after he was shot several times during an ambush late Thursday night in West Philadelphia.

Philadelphia police commissioner Richard Ross says the officer, identified as 33-year-old Jesse Hartnett, was sitting in his patrol car around 11:30 p.m. at 60th and Spruce Streets when a gunman fired 11 shots through the driver’s side of the car.

Police are calling it an “attempted assassination.”

In a press conference, Commissioner Ross said the gun used in the attack was a stolen police firearm.

“It was stolen back in October of 2013. It was reported, and that is one of the things you regret the most when an officer’s gun is stolen, when it is used against one of your own.”

“Shots fired! I’m shot! I’m bleeding heavily!” Hartnett could be heard yelling on police radio.

Commissioner Ross says the suspect has given a full confession, saying he did it in the name of Islam.

“According to him, police bend laws that are contrary to the teachings of the Quran.”

Sources say the suspect’s full confession of the alleged attack was written down and recorded on video.

Police sources identify the suspect as 30-year-old Edward Archer, of Yeadon.

“When you look at the video, this is one of the scariest things I’ve ever seen,” Commissioner Ross said. “This guy tried to execute the police officer. The police officer had no idea he was coming. It’s amazing he’s alive.”

Commissioner Ross said later, “We’re thankful to God he’s here today because it easily could’ve been a police funeral.”

Hartnett was taken to Penn Presbyterian Medical Center where he underwent surgery for a broken arm. Ross says the officer’s arm suffered significant damage and that he has a long road to recovery, but he is expected to be okay.

His father, Robert Hartnett said, “It’s going to be a tough road, but he’s a tough guy. I told him I love him, and I’m proud of him and he is an excellent person.”

We are grateful for the outpouring of support for our brave officer,Jesse Hartnett. Please keep him in your thoughts & prayers as he recovers

Hartnett returned fire and struck the suspect at least three times. The suspect tried to escape on foot, authorities say, but was quickly caught and taken to the hospital.

Sources say the wounded officer told investigators that Archer walked up to the car, appeared to be about to ask for directions when he pulled a 9 mm and opened up with shots. The officer was hit, then fired back.

The suspect was wounded, but he does not have life-threatening injuries.

District Attorney Seth Williams says “I’m very thankful the officer is alive. This shows us the need for smarter laws when it relates to guns on the street. My office is going to do all that we can to ensure the defendant is held accountable to the fullest extent of the law.”

Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf released the following statement: ‘We are thankful that Officer Hartnett is alive and not facing life-threatening injuries after being ambushed. We wish him and his family the best during his recovery. This alleged intentional act of violence against an officer seeking to help a fellow citizen is horrifying and has no place in Pennsylvania.’

Hartnett is an 18th district officer with five years on the force.

The FBI is now assisting in the investigation.

I was just watching Sean Hannity on, dare I say, Fox News.

He showed the news conference in Filthydelphia where the PC gave the shooters confession, " I did it for Allah and IS" (paraphrase) and the Mayor saying no indication of Islamic Inspiration.

Filthydelphia is lost, at least the civilian leadership.

I must say I was very, very impressed with the Philly PC, who dare I say is black, but who was as blue as could be.

Half of my bosses, NYPD and PDCN, couldn't shine this guys shoes.

This Philly PC kept praising his Cop, who acted most heroically despite being seriously wounded.

I wish I could have served under his leadership.

[civilian0101]

PO Jesse Hartnett is a fvcking hero. He is what we all strive to be in our lives.

To be ambushed, shot at 11 times, hit 3 times and have the wherewithal to put it out over the air, and the sheer balls of steel to get out and chase this muthafvcka, knowing he's still armed and already tried to kill you once, is nothing short of being a superhero!

THESE are the types of heroes parades are made for, not ball players. I hope he makes a speedy and complete recovery and his job lauds him with the promotion and transfer to the unit of his choice.

PO Hartnett, if you ever come to NY, look us up. Your money is no good here and we'd all love to buy you a drink.

[coots]

Watching the news conference, was I mistaken...does the mayor have a plate in the right side of his skull? there is quite a big indentation there. The Police Commissioner of Philadelphia should run against this moron in the next election cycle for mayor

[rabbit]

Godspeed to the Officer

ROT IN HELL SAVAGE

[jmandmj]

The cop has balls, big brass ones, shot several times gets out and returns fire!!!
