Kristian Reyes, 35, is facing charges after authorities say he fired multiple shots through a wall, striking a Philadelphia SWAT officer who was serving a search warrant. The officer was struck in his ballistic vest and was not seriously injured.
The incident occurred around 12:37 p.m. Friday, when members of the Philadelphia Police Department SWAT unit were serving a search warrant on the 100 block of West Lehigh Avenue.
Police say SWAT officers attempted to breach the door, firing three rounds from a breaching shotgun on the door lock and deadbolt, but were unsuccessful. Following the shooting, SWAT officers positioned in the rear of the building saw a man later identified as Reyes exit a third floor window and jump down on the second floor roof. Those officers commanded Reyes, who they say was still armed, to drop his gun.
