CORRECTION: After initially stating a school resource officer died from his injuries, Philly police now say the officer is in critical condition.
Philadelphia police have released surveillance video of the suspect in a shooting of a school safety officer with the hopes it will lead to the arrest of the culprit.
On the early morning hours of Sunday, June 29, a 68-year-old Philadelphia school safety officer and retired police officer was shot multiple times at the 300 block of North Christopher Columbus Boulevard as he tried to intervene during a suspected road rage incident.
The suspected shooter was driving a white 2017-2019 Kia Sportage and is believed to have a bowl type haircut, police said.
The suspect was also wearing a red or orange shirt at the time, police said.
The victim, who is still in critical condition, is a retired Philadelphia police officer who was working overnight at Kensington High School for the Creative and Performing Arts, which is operating as a shelter for residents who were impacted by a recent apartment fire.
The unidentified man served in the Philadelphia Police Department for 28 years and worked for the school district for another 20 years, officials said.
Anyone with information is urged to contact police at 215.686.TIPS (8477) or they can submit a tip online.
