Originally published April 3, 2008 by Philadelphia Daily News
Cops exchanged fire with a gunman last night after responding to a report of a home-invasion robbery in Olney.
This is the account police gave: about 8:30 p.m. a man broke into a home on Rockland Street near 7th and pistol-whipped a resident. When police arrived, the gunman bolted from the house and police gave chase. Near 8th and Rockland streets, the man fired at police. Officers fired back, but did not hit him. The gunman threw his gun onto a nearby roof. He then was arrested and police recovered the gun. Police Internal Affairs is investigating.
