A suspect has been taken into custody after injuring six officers in a shootout in the US city of Philadelphia.
A gun battle broke out between police and a male shooter at around 16:30 local time (20:30 GMT).
The officers were serving a drugs warrant at a home in Philadelphia’s Nicetown-Tiago neighbourhood when the gunman opened fire.
A lengthy stand-off ensued as police urged the gunman to surrender.
A video on social media purportedly shows the suspect, named by US media as Maurice Hill, leaving the house with his hands in the air.
A SWAT team rescued two officers and three others who were trapped inside the home with the gunman, police said.

Police Commissioner Richard Ross said the SWAT team “were able to use stealth” to safely evacuate the officers from a “hostage situation”.
Mr Ross said the trapped officers were holding people they arrested during the initial raid.
The gunman fired on the SWAT team’s truck outside the home, where police wearing bulletproof vests took cover behind cars with guns drawn.
