Authorities are searching for a man who they say opened fire on a police officer and security guard outside a Philadelphia nightclub over the weekend.
According to investigators, the suspect got into a fight with a security guard inside the club on the 4000 block of Lancaster Street early Saturday morning. Jason Hendershot from the Philadelphia Police Department said the fight started when the suspect left the and tried to re-enter without paying again.
Nobody was hit by gunfire, but Hendershot said it was "very evident" that the suspect was aiming for the officer and security guard. The Philadelphia Police Department shared nightclub security footage of the shooter standing across the street when he opened fire. Both the officer, a 16-year veteran, and the armed security guard returned fire as the suspect fled to a silver vehicle. Hedershot said it's "presumable" that the officer and security guard both missed the fleeing suspect.
