Philly Police Commissioner: Police have been attempting contact with suspect. He has picked up his phone but has not spoken, instead continued to fire shots hitting the swat vehicle and nearby structures.

根据稍早的直播画面，警方已经拘留一名男性嫌疑人，但现阶段仍不清楚该名男子在这起事件当中的角色为何。

双方对峙现正持续中，持有长枪的嫌犯目前还躲在大楼内，周边街区已被当局封锁，美国总统川普稍早已听取相关简报。

费城警察局长罗斯（Richard Ross）表示，枪手开枪的行为几乎持续整个晚上，似乎是没有受伤，「但已经有一段时间没有开枪了」，「这让我们乐观认为，他似乎已经开始理解…他出来投降是有好处的。」
