Police Charged 16-Year Old Kid With Shooting 2 Police Officers In Philly

A 16-year-old boy was charged Wednesday in the shooting of two undercover narcotics officers in the Frankford section of Philadelphia, the city's fourth and fifth police shootings in less than three months, officials said.

The two, both plainclothes officers wearing badges, were wounded about 6:30 p.m. Tuesday while trying to serve an arrest warrant in the city's Frankford section.

One officer was shot in the leg and the other was wounded in the hip. Both were treated and released from hospital and were recovering at home as of Wednesday morning.

The names and faces of the undercover narcotics officers will not be released but one of the two officers shot spoke with NBC 10.

"You never think when you walk out the door that you might not come home or that something like this is gonna happen," the officer said. "It was like any other one we do, a knock and announce, and the next thing I knew it felt like a sledge hammer hit my leg."
