Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney called out the NRA and demanded a resolution to the nation's gun crisis, saying officers need help keeping numerous weapons out of criminals' hands.
Kenney spoke at a news conference as an hourslong shooting standoff that left six officers injured was underway at a home in North Philadelphia.

During that time, the mayor said, he listened to the officers' riveting radio transmissions as they made their way through the home in search of the suspect, at times whispering so the shooter did not hear them.
