'Two officers are actually inside... We are still waiting to hear about their condition.' CNN's Jason Carroll reports from Philadelphia, where police are in an 'active and ongoing' standoff.
Police have been in an hourslong standoff with a suspect who they say shot six officers on Wednesday in a North Philadelphia neighborhood.
Two officers are trapped inside the row house, Philadelphia Police Commissioner Richard Ross Jr. told reporters. He said he believed"they're OK," but declined to say more out of concern for their safety.More than three hours after officers swarmed to the scene and the standoff began, negotiators have tried to to communicate with the shooter, but the gunman only picks up the phone without answering, Ross said Wednesday night.
