A Philadelphia police officer shot and injured a man who was wielding a knife in a North Philadelphia home early Wednesday morning, police said.<\/p>\n
The shooting happened just before 3 a.m. on the 1800 block of North Bailey Street, just off Montgomery Avenue, the Philadelphia Police Department said in a news release.<\/p>\n
The release said the officer, assigned to the 22nd District, was one of two who responded to a 911 call for a person screaming in a home on that block. The uniformed officers arrived at the home and heard a woman’s voice yelling before knocking on the door.<\/p>\n
Police said a child let the officers inside to check on the people in the home.<\/p>\n
The officers saw a 31-year-old man armed with a knife, who they say was standing over a 30-year-old woman on the floor.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After officers told the man to drop the knife, he moved toward them and jumped over a sofa. That’s when the officer fired one shot, hitting the man in the chest, police said.<\/p>\n
The man was taken to a nearby hospital and went into surgery. He’s now listed in critical condition.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The woman and the officers were not injured, according to police.<\/p>\n
The officer who fired the shot, a 26-year-old man, is on administrative duty while the shooting is under the investigation.<\/p>\n
The other officer on the scene, a 31-year-old man, did not fire his weapon, according to police.<\/p>\n
The news release said both officers’ body-worn cameras captured the incident.<\/p>\n
The shooting is under investigation by the department’s Officer Involved Shooting Investigation Unit, Internal Affairs Bureau and the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office.<\/p>\n
Officers could be seen entering a home on the 1800 block of Bailey Street while the investigation proceeded on Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n
