Cop-hater in mass shooting rampage in Philadelphia
Woman sergeant shot in patrol car; female bystander killed; another officer and two others injured by gunman who left hate letter at the scene.
A gunman was shot dead in Philadelphia after he ambushed and shot two police officers and four civilians, killing one of the bystanders, in a 'targeted attack on police'.Philadelphia Police Commissioner Richard Ross said Sgt. Sylvia Young, 46, was ambushed late Friday night and shot a number of times in the arm and upper body but she was wearing a protective vest so survived. He said Ed Miller, a former police officer who is now a member of the police force at the University of Pennsylvania, was also wounded.
A note believed to be written by the shooter was recovered near Young's car. It allegedly contained rambling anti-police rhetoric and named a parole officer as a target, Ross said.

Great, another mental patient walking around with a gun.
We should really find a way to lower the chances of other mental patients from getting guns.
I'm thankful the officer survived and that the shooter can no longer cause additional mayhem.

Our police deserve better. We must find the will to keep guns out of the hands of mentally unbalanced people
