Man grabs Philadelphia police officer's gun outside hospital, shoots him before being fatally shot
70% Informative
The shooting occurred shortly before 1 p.m. at Friends Hospital , Commissioner Kevin Bethel said.
He said the two city officers had encountered the man earlier Thursday after he was seen walking in traffic.
The man was driven to the hospital in a police van but was not handcuffed because he had agreed to go voluntarily.
As the officers were speaking with him after they arrived, the man became combative and attacked one of the officers.
One officer fired a Taser at the man, who continued to struggle as all three men fell to the ground.
He took an officer's gun and started firing, wounding that officer, who was struck at the base of his vest.
