Martin P. Campbell (inset), shot in leg during robbery attempt
Martin P. Campbell, an off-duty police officer is listed in serious condition after being shot in the Hunting Park neighborhood of Philadelphia Wednesday night and a friend, Rasheen Allen, was killed after two men tried to rob them. According to police spokesman Lt. Frank Vanore, Campbell, 23, was hit in the leg and was taken to Temple University Hospital, after the bullet "nicked" an artery. According to Philly.com, reports indicated police in Hunting Park shot two suspects who are possibly associated with the robbery. Their conditions are currently unknown.
According to police, the shooting reportedly occurred at about 7:15 p.m., as Campbell, Allen and a third friend were getting out of a car on Marshall Street when they were approached by two men in hoodies, who announced a robbery. Campbell has been on the police force for two years and serves in the 5th District, which covers Manayunk and Roxborough. It is a shame that so many police officers are either losing their lives or being injured by armed thugs. Is it open season on police officers? It seems that it is and that is such a travesty.
Anyone with any information on this senseless shooting is asked to contact the homicide division at 215-686-3334 or 3335 to get these two armed dirtbags off the streets.
