A wild chase and shootout through the streets of West Philadelphia left two police officers and four civilians wounded and a suspect fatally shot.

Philadelphia Police Commissioner Richard Ross said Sgt. Sylvia Young was ambushed late Friday night and shot a number of times in the arm and protective vest.

He said Ed Miller, a former police officer who is now a member of the police force at the University of Pennsylvania, was also wounded. Both were in stable condition early Saturday at Penn Presbyterian Hospital.

Two of the four civilians who were wounded were in critical condition, Ross said.

The suspect was cornered in an alley and fatally shot by police, the commissioner said.

The identities of the suspect and the others who were injured were not immediately released.
