Man in police confrontation undergoes surgery

A 29-year-old man who was shot by a uniformed police officer yesterday afternoon following a confrontation in North Philadelphia was undergoing surgery at Temple University Hospital last night.

A hospital spokesman said no additional information was available on the injured man's condition. Police had not identified the man.

Lt. Frank Vanore, a police spokesman, said the officer from the 22d Police District discharged his weapon, striking the man at least once. The officer was not named.

Vanore said preliminary information indicated that at approximately 4:30 p.m. the officer attempted to pull over a Buick in the 2100 block of Norris Street.

Instead of stopping, the car sped off. The police officer pursued and tried to pull the car over several more times before the Buick stopped in the 1800 block of Bailey Street, Vanore said. The driver fled up Bailey, and the officer ran after him.

There was a confrontation of some kind, and the officer fired his weapon, Vanore said. He said he had no additional information about the nature of the confrontation.

He said the shooting incident was being investigated by Central Detectives and Internal Affairs.
