Three Philadelphia police officers were ambushed by gunfire while responding to a shooting Wednesday night in Northeast Philadelphia, authorities said.
Investigators say a father and his son were arguing when the boy's uncle stepped in. Police believe the father shot the uncle inside the home before opening fire on police when they pulled up. Other officers exchanged shots with the gunman, who was killed.
The boy's uncle was taken to a hospital in critical condition and all three officers who were struck by gunfire are in "stable" condition.
