The man, whose
identity was not released, stabbed and slashed the throat of his
8-year-old son and also stabbed the boy's 13-year-old friend,
Philadelphia Police Commissioner Richard Ross said in a news
conference aired on an ABC affiliate.
He also assaulted his 15-year-old daughter. He then walked four
blocks to a friend's house where he stabbed one woman and
punched another, WPVI-TV reported.
Police went to the house after getting calls about shots fired
and confronted him when he came out, the station reported.
"He's got his hand in his pocket. They tell him several times to
take his hand out. He abruptly takes his hand out and they fire
multiple times, striking him," Ross said.
No gun was recovered from the scene, according to the station.
The two boys were hospitalized and the conditions of the other
victims were unknown, the news station reported.
