Sitting in a car & shot multiple times. It is crystal clear those carrying guns & using them are not scared of the minimal consequences they face @ this time. Change is needed. Accountability saves lives.

@RealJabariJones
Seven minutes after 4 males (all armed w/guns) car jacked this vehicle @ 4600 Pine.
@PPD18Dist
PO’s saw, chased & caught the offenders. Excellent work making these arrests & recovering the weapons they used to commit this crime!
@PhillyPolice
This gun arrest really hits home. Tonight @ 6000 Delancey a male was caught ⬇️ gun. His 1st vufa arrest was in July '19. His 2nd gun arrest came when I arrested him 3 months later. Out on BAIL he was caught tonight for his 3rd gun arrest!
@PPDDerrickWood
One of the best parts of the job is meeting & talking to people who truly want to help our City. Community Activist & author
@YaFavTrashman
is the real deal. Keep up the great work!
@PPD18Dist
I ask this question. Is it truly okay for an individual w/18 priors including violent crimes to be out? Out carrying guns & disrupting public safety. Reform is needed. It is needed in the post Arrest process once
@PhillyPolice
do their job.
@PPDDerrickWood
Police announce a murder charge against a 20-year-old man in connection to the shooting death of Milan Loncar, a Temple University grad who was killed while walking his dog in Brewerytown on Wednesday night.
@PPDDerrickWood
This is disgusting and inexcusable! It is nauseating to hear of constant bail reductions on violent individuals! Milan and this city deserves better.
Another vehicle investigation. Another individual possessing an illegal firearm, on probation for VUFA w/ 12 priors! THREE for VUFA. Good work
@PPD18Dist
PO’s getting this individual off our streets… for now.

This officer 1st on scene, rushing towards gun fire to save others. A husband & father to 7 children, going toward danger to save others. RIP Sir.
#Boulder
The first on the scene of the
#Boulder
shooting, Officer Eric Talley is a hero who sacrificed it all. He rushed into the gunfire putting the safety of others ahead of his own. His life was one of significance — one we will
#NeverForget
. My prayers are with his wife & 7 children.
We must never forget those who sacrificed so much on this date. The lives lost & families changed forever. Thank you to the 1st responders who answered that call on 09/11/01. And to the military & intelligence members who have worked to keep us safe since.
Convicted felon, 4th VUFA arrest, 9 priors , has a warrant. Who suffers most from this leniency? Change is needed in our post-arrest procedures.
@PhillyPolice
keeps catching them & they continue to re-offend or be released.
@PPDDerrickWood
@PPDScottDrissel
This cowardly act done under the cover of darkness, by a true criminal will not be tolerated. Anyone with info or cameras in the area of 60th & Baltimore call 215-686-3183 w/info. Contine to RIP

Let's not forget to add, the one Male shot is in our custody now for having his own gun! He has prior gun arrests & never should of been out as we said over & over! Out on bail isnt working for some individuals. Consequences matter !
@PPDDerrickWood
Last month one of our

ATV detail - 12 scooters/bikes impounded.
It’s nauseating 2 me to learn of this! Milan Loncar’s killer never should of been out! Bail ⬇️ w/ absolutely no regard for public safety is just disrespectful to the citizens of
#philly
& contributes to carnage going on.
@PPDScottDrissel
@PPDDerrickWood
Outstanding work tonight @ 200 S. 57th. The Male arrested carrying this illegal firearm w/obliterated serial # has 7 PRIOR arrests. Including a previous gun charge. The fight against gun violence continues!

@PhillyPolice
@PPDDerrickWood
Evidence markers across the grass behind School of the Future. Police say a man fatally shot his coworker at Jefferson Hospital, later got into a shootout with police in Parkside. Two officers and gunman shot, expected to survive.
Congrats to the

@PhillyPolice

The Male currently in
@PPD18Dist
custody clearly is upset about HIS choice to carry a gun illegally & sell drugs @ 500 S. 52nd st. We cannot allow drugs sales & illegal firearms to over take our streets. Great work PO Schroder & Turner.
@PPDDerrickWood
The male who fired this ⬇️ firearm 3x @ another person & ADMITTED to it in his statement with dets. Was issued only 24,000 dollar bail , paid 1,570 & was released less than 24 hrs after his arrest.
