A shootout between two suspects and the FBI and police ended with one suspect dead and another injured, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
The newspaper reported that both men were suspects in murders and robberies across the city and were determined to fight if authorities tried to apprehend them.
That’s exactly what happened when FBI agents and Philadelphia police swarmed their hangout early Monday afternoon, according to The Inquirer. After a 10-minute gunfight, 21-year-old Tevin Hammond was dead and 19-year-old Justin Mackie was severely wounded.
Authorities were not injured.
“They knew people were looking for them, and they made it very clear they would not surrender,” Philadelphia Police Lt. John Stanford told the Inquirier.
