Talk:August 2019 Philadelphia shooting

police officers didn't hit their presumed target, what did they hit? With gunfire from multiple directions inside and outside the building, some of the injuries assumed to have been caused by the suspect may be friendly fire injuries. Unfortunately, news coverage seldom includes details such as the caliber of bullets causing injuries or the direction from which those bullets were fired.

planned to be targeted it was reactionary by the gunman. I think we can put focus on standoff in title, although I am seeing sources use Philadelphia shooting standoff as well, which I also think could work. We can see what sources use mostly in next few days to find a final name for it before a move.

Of all the various attacks this month (well done, world), I would put this as the least notable. However, it also demonstrates bigger gun issues in the US - namely that 8 armed police officers still can't take down a single assailant - that could have an effect on legislation. But then, if it does,
583:
Indeed - the article as well as much of the media coverage give the impression that all the bullet wounds were caused by the man whom the police eventually arrested. It's highly unlikely that none of the police's bullets hit anyone. It also appears from the article that the suspect wasn't injured,
568:
Is this event notable for its duration? Is anyone suggesting this event would have been notable if there hadn't been a period of high intensity gunfire? It appears a significant fraction of the firearm discharges reported by local residents may have been fired by police. If the bullets fired by 30

Police Standoff might work better. There was shooting, but seeing as this was a police raid that ended up with shooting occurring, hostages being taken, and an 8 hour standoff, it ended up being more than just that. While it was initially reported as police being shoot at, it wasn't like they were

Where I went to school, Pennsylvanian architectural history begins and ends at the Spectrum. I'll defer to you on all matters of Philly police provenance and presumably proper placement. But I will fight you tooth and nail if you daresay Kraft tops Hellmann's in the whipped egg department!

I agree. My first thought was that the name was somehow "lacking". But, I have no ideas for a better name. Perhaps the word "police" should be included ("police shooting"), but that might sound like it was the police -- and not the criminal -- doing the shooting.
948:
that we have a "see also" section. To guide readers to tangentially related topics. The tangential relationship is: a significant attack on police, occurring in Pennsylvania. That is "tangential enough" for a "see also" connection. I have no idea what that
953:
business is all about. I did not look at the article at all. And I am only cursorily familiar with the topic. That is why I said that I am not sure whether it belongs in the "see also". Maybe it does; maybe not. I have no idea. Thanks.
748:. The perps in the next day's Philadelphia mass shooting got 26 rounds off without even being seen by police, much less caught or shot. Nobody ever thinks of restricting efficient getaway and drive-by vehicles, though, so it goes on like this. 598:
I'm not saying it is notable solely because of duration, but if it was just a drug raid with resistance and gunfire but no serious injuries and w/o the standoff/hostage situation, it wouldn't be as notable, particularly nationally.
153: 882:
appropriate if yours is? It has people in a house in Pennsylvania in a gunfight with police. Personally, I don't think either one belongs, but the opinion that one does and the other does not is not something I understand in any
712:
I think that would require an interpretation of NCRIME that effectively nullifies the WP:PAG I raised above, which I doubt was the intent. Such an interpretation would be broad enough to sail a battleship through.
543:
But for how long, was it eight hours of shooting, or was the majority if not all of it during the beginning, and the remaining hours the standoff/hostage situation. But either way shooting standoff includes both.

CBS reported 30 police discharged their weapons, but it appears the police were less accurate than the individual downstairs. Maurice Hill's initial failure to speak on the telephone might have been a result of

If this was big on TV, the "ongoing situation" certainly helped snag viewers. Girl in a well, boys in a cave, balloon floating away...all ridiculously boring without the suspense aspect.
806:
restores a see also link to another shootout with police. I see the following similarities: someone in a house in Pennsylvania was in a shootout with police. That is a distant tangent.
1185:. Though they are all significant, pre-Industrial Revolution stone buildings in Pennsylvania, City Hall is the only one that was ever the tallest habitable building in the world. - 275: 255: 1173:
Oh, I dunno. How about attacks on police i Pennsylvania that resulted in federal laws or political parties? I mean essentially we're saying the first "see also" under
813:
now. Are we looking to add every notable shootout with police or is "house in Pennsylvania" somehow the relevant kicker here? That's a thin thread of connection. -
783:
Number 1 is for people who know where Philadelphia is. Number 2 is for people who know that Pennsylvania exists. Number 3 is for the international folk that don't.
1240: 1046:
A "See also" section with hundreds of entries is unrealistic. Unless there is a specific reason to include one and not the others, it had to go. Maybe time for
79: 1255: 529:
If there was a significant volume of gunfire from the police, that needs to be added to the article. Did any of the bullets fired by the police hit anyone?
1025: 837: 1103:
Your argument is silly and you must know that. I never proposed adding hundreds of other entries to the "See Also". Also, that argument can be made for
364: 1235: 85: 1250: 168: 135: 355: 319: 30: 844:. And I am not sure that the MOVE link belongs. In any event, these are the relevant components of the "See Also" policy, located at 1174: 99: 24: 129: 104: 20: 606: 551: 443: 74: 984:

films (because, um, aliens visit Earth). Now I must confess I simply don't understand what connection you are looking at. -
65: 405:
Does anyone else think this name is- not so good. I don't really know what else to call it. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks,
1119:
articles, whatsoever. As you say, the point is now moot. But, please, keep your arguments genuine and honest. Thanks.
878:
way your suggested link is related is that someone in a house in Pennsylvania was in a gunfight with police. How is MOVE
175: 196: 1124: 1037: 959: 886:
Initially, I figured the inclusion was one of those "gee, this kinda reminds me of..." kind of links. I saw this with
865: 473: 426: 944:. I said "I am not sure". Correct? The link I added is appropriate for the "see also" section. And it is the 768:
Probably not super important, but are three maps really necessary to give readers an idea of the location? Thanks,
109: 141: 236: 1161:
we're getting tangential, MOVE should be seen also first, for its more interesting story (plus bonus tales).
809:
Off hand, three shootouts between MOVE and police come to mind. Actually, I see someone has added a link to
703: 218: 1205: 1178: 1165: 1120: 1033: 955: 861: 840:. And, after it was removed, I added it back in again. I had nothing to do with adding in the link for 752: 627: 469: 422: 730:
that would definitely warrant an article and this could be included there. I'm ambivalent, shall we say.
