Philly attack yesterday was jihad. Now we know why his identity was held so long. He was pronounced dead at 10:30 am yesterday. They wanted the news media to move on. They would have anyway once it was. announced it was a jihadi.

This vicious terror attack took place two days after the trial began of another Philadelphia jihadi who shot a police officer multiple times. Edward Archer refused to enter a plea in court, saying, “I don’t plead to anyone but Allah.” Archer, 32, is charged with the attempted murder of Officer Jesse Hartnett, who was shot point blank when Archer approached his police car with a weapon and fired 13 times.

The media narrative cringe-worthy, of course. The attacker attempted to mow down several pedestrians, hitting one. The jihadi continued driving east on Bigler, but then made a U-turn and drove back to the intersection to strike more people. There, “a good Samaritan used his truck to block his path,” Ross said. The driver of the truck got out and apparently tried to tell the suspect that he had hit someone. The suspect allegedly got out of the Honda and began to chase the good Samaritan.

As the suspect began to walk back to the Honda, the off-duty officer, who had witnessed most of what happened, exited his own vehicle and confronted the suspect. Witnesses said the officer identified himself as police and ordered the suspect to the ground, Ross said.

The suspect “charged the detective immediately upon the detective approaching him. There is a violent struggle that you can see where they’re spinning each other around and around,” Ross said. The suspect allegedly struck the officer several times.

Surveillance video shows the detective drawing his department-issued weapon and Lawal, who was around 6-foot tall and weighed around 250 pounds, charging at him.

“They got into a violent struggle where the male struck the detective several times,” said Philadelphia Police Commissioner Richard Ross.

Police say several shots were fired during the struggle as Lawal tried to disarm the officer.

Here’s the enemedia headline:

Driver shot, killed by off-duty officer in South Philadelphia ID’d 6ABC, Thanks to Orange Martyrs Investigators say Lawal apparently tried to use his black Honda hit a person who had just gotten out of a car. Then, on foot, Lawal chased another person who had tried to detain him, and then charged at the off-duty officer after he approached, leading to a violent struggle. During the struggle, the officer fired about ten shots, hitting Lawal in the torso, legs, and face. The detective suffered minor injuries and has been treated and released from the hospital. The struggle between the suspect and the officer was caught on video, Commissioner Richard Ross said during a news conference late Monday. However, he said he was concerned about the number of shots the detective fired. The entire incident remains under investigation. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
