Police share new details in traffic stop shooting of Philadelphia police officer: 'We're outraged'

Ramon Rodriguez Vazquez, 36, was charged with numerous crimes, including two counts of attempted murder of a police officer and aggravated assault on an officer.Deputy Commissioner Frank Vanore told reporters that two officers stopped a Toyota on the 35000 block of Epps Street in Kensington just after 7 p.m. Saturday. During the stop it was learned that the driver, later identified as Vazquez, did not have a driver's license and the vehicle was not registered.

Police say Vazquez came across a 20-year-old man sitting on the steps of a home and forced him inside at gunpoint. Investigators say he allowed the 20-year-old to leave the house after a short time, and police soon swarmed the home. While holed up in the property, investigators believe Vazquez was trying to arrange for a way out of the city. A SWAT team eventually entered the home and arrested Vazquez. A Glock 26 9mm handgun was found inside the home, investigators said.
