UPDATE: Philadelphia police say the individual in the video is wanted in the attempted murder of an on-duty PPA officer. He should be considered armed and dangerous:
On Wednesday, the PPA said the officer, who they identified as Timothy McKenzie, 37, was upgraded from critical to stable condition. He was struck in the ear and in his shoulder, police said.
NBC10 edited surveillance video to not show the moment the shooting took place, due to its graphic nature. A friend and coworker told NBC10 McKenzie is well-known on his beat near Frankford Avenue and Orthodox Street. He was only a couple hours away from the end of his shift. “Your thoughts of just going after a man working in uniform, a city employee, obviously it’s bold. It’s bold, it’s brazen, and it’s something we’re definitely going to do everything we can to solve immediately,” Philadelphia Police Deputy Commissioner Frank Vanore told reporters. “Again, does this have anything to do with his activities out here, could be, that’s our theory.”
