Philadelphia Police Heroism Watch

There are also good and brave and honest cops in the city, and it should be acknowledged that they do have a dangerous job:

A Philadelphia Police Officer was shot overnight during a chase in North Philadelphia, according to police.

Officer Kevin Gorman was treated for a gunshot to the shoulder at Temple University Hospital and released about 5 a.m. today, according to Police Officer Christine O'Brien.

Gorman was wounded on the 3300 block of N. Howard Street in North Philadelphia.  He is a 3 and 1/2 year veteran of the Philadelphia Police Department.
