[Police in Philadelphia shot and killed a Black man
on Monday, triggering protests that saw at
least 30 officers injured, officials said.
Police said they shot Walter Wallace Jr., 27, after
responding to a call about a man armed with a knife.
The responding officers ordered Wallace
“several times” to drop the knife and he
continued to “advance towards” them,
according to a statement.
They then fired their weapons “multiple times,”
shooting him in the chest and shoulder,
and he was pronounced dead at
the hospital just after 4 p.m., the statement added.

Wallace was recently married,
and had seven children and one on the way,
according to a statement from
his cousin Carnell Hurley made on
behalf of his family.
He was shot in front of his mother and brother, Hurley said.

Hurley said in the statement that Wallace
was “at least 20 feet away” from
the officers and they “shot a dozen shots.”]
