Authorities updating us from the Folcroft Fire Department on the Police Officer shot this morning. Lets listen in. With him today and certainly his family who is suffering greatly theyre at the hospital right now. I want to go over first the facts of this particular incident that occurred this morning approximately 10 00 oclock this morning. Dell com received a call of an individual, black male about 6foot wearing dark clothing hyped 1528 elmwood avenue in folcroft. He was alleged to be violating act 64 which is the drug act and it appeared from the person that called in that he was actually selling Illegal Drugs behind that apartment complex at 1528 elmwood avenue. Officer Christopher Dorman received that call and responded to that location. Officer dorman arrived, exited his Police Vehicle encountered the defendant, a scuffle ensued and the defendant callusly drew his weapon and fired at officer dorman striking him seven times once in the face, four times in the chest, once in the groin and once in the leg. At this point, a second folcroft officer was dispatched, was en route. Was on the street behind the Apartment Building actually was able to see the struggle, exited his vehicle and the defendant at this point in time turned the gun and started to shoot at the second officer in a second attempt to kill another folcroft officer. He received a call over the radio he could hear officer dorman indicating that he was shot. Officer dorman was able to go through the apartment through the alley between the two buildings and ended up on elmwood avenue where a third folcroft officer was able to attempt to render aid and place the injured officer dorman in his vehicle, rush him to fitzgerald Mercy Hospital where upon he was treated and prepped to be transported by helicopter to a philadelphia hospital is where hes currently at today. We were able to locate the fact that he was the defendant was in the immediate area. We were able to receive help from atf as well as numerous departments here in Delaware County that came to aid as well as multiple swat teams along with the fbi. We had the two Apartment Buildings surrounde surrounded n Delaware County was activated. Swat had the building surrounded for a number of hours and finally was able to take control of the building, entered the apartment where the suspect was and took him into custody without incident. The suspect has been identified as dante Brooks Island also known as abdul wahi. Hes been right now hes in custody at the Folcroft Borough Police station. Were in the process of continuing this investigation. Were in the process of charging the defendant, the defendant will be charged with attempted murder certainly two counts, hell be charged with aggravated assault two counts. Hell be charged with related offenses. We also learned that the defendant is a career criminal, is a drug dealer. He also has been convicted of firearms violations, various firearms violations, has been serving a sentence, a long sentence of approximately 15 years in federal penetentiary and was only relatively recently released. Again, we want to ask you to keep this officer in your prayers as well as his family. I would ask at this point in time officer chief, from folcroft borough if he wants to add or say anything additional. Good afternoon everyone. Thanks for your patience in waiting for us. Just got word before woe came down that hes still in surgery. They expected to surgery to last about another hour. Theyre working on his face now. Everything else that they were operating on appears to be a success. So right now theyre working on the facial damage that he has. Ate ill take any questions if anybody has any. Can you tell us how he was shot in the face. It was apparently through the cheeks. Through the cheek . Yes. Hes in surgery right now. The man who did the shooting his name is island. Island. Yes. He shoots officer dorman seven times and attempts to shoot a second officer . Its unbelievable that hes alive and from what im gathe gathering through his family that are at the hospital his parents talk to the doctor. The doctor said that anyone of those rounds on his vest could have been fatal. He was shot both front and back of the vest with three wounds to his body one in the face, one in his groin and one in his leg. So we just thank god he had his vest on. What was the number . Seven rounds, seven times. Im not sure of that fact the officer who was shot. But the second officer who arrived on the scene exchanged gunfire with the defendant. Was the weapon recovered . I believe it was. Yes. What was it . Im not sure of the caliber. I believe it was a 40 caliber. Correct. Youre talking about the defendants weapon, correct . Yes. We believe we have the weapon that was used for attempted murder. Where was is the suspect now. Our headquarters. Folcroft headquarters. Yes. Are you identifying the second officer . David dipetro. Can you spell the suspects name . Island is his last name. No way i can dot second one. Wahiwahi i believe. Wahi. question from reporter . I believe there was not federal warrant. There was a warrant out i believe. Address was elmwood avenue. I would have to look it up. I believe he is in his 30s. 30s. Were two women also take taken into custody. No, not yet. Just the alleged gunman. Yes. Theres other people involved. But one person is under arrest. But there were i mean, organize of according to the video there were at least three women who were handcuffs at the time he was put in the police car ing. We have detained a number of individuals and right now the investigation is on going. We have not charged those three individuals at this point as we speak here right now. However, its still an ongoing investigation. They were taken out. They were detained. They still are in detention being questioned, and they were with the defendant at the time of his his arrest. Was he removed from his apartment or was he removed from someone elses apartment . Another apartment. But in the same building adjacent building. Chief, what can you tell us about officer dorman . He grew up in folcroft. Tell me his life here. He work for the Fire Department. He was a volunteer for this Fire Department were sitting in now. I think since he was 16. Hes 25. His dream was to be a folcroft officer. Were lucky enough to higher him about year and a half ago. Ill dont say that lightly this is a good officer. Hes a parttime officer but small communities we hire a loft part timers because they leave for other jobs fulltime jobs and i dont want him to leave and he was in the process of leaving to get a fulltime job with septa, septas Police Department from what i understand he was pretty close to getting that. Going through their process of background checks want not. Hes the kind of guy that i was telling District Attorney jack here that you dont want to lose him because thats how good he is. I mean hes just a good guy. Nothing bothers him. Great sense of humor. Something like this has to happen. So just hoping for a full recovery and we get him back or septa gets him. He comes from great family. I do personally know his mother and father, and i actually worked with him. His father is a former councilman right here in folcroft borough. Moved to delaware just a great family. Its a shame that both the officer and his family have to go through this. question from reporter . We had reports of different types of drugs. We know that there was allegations of heroin. Theres also allegations of marijuana. You said there had been amount of activity at that location in the last 24 to 48 hours. Is this in any way related to that . I dont believe so. We do have an extensive Narcotics Task force here in Delaware County. The the Narcotics Task force was aware of suspected drug activity in this particular area. However, im not aware of the last 24 or 48 hours that being an issue. Is the officer married. No, hes single. No children. question from reporter . We defer to the chief but i can tell that you we do have this extensive Narcotics Task force. Over 60 undercover officers that work various neighborhoods in Delaware County, and we see unfortunately in this particular region the philadelphia region a lot of drug activity in certain areas. We investigated, we take anonymous tips. There are certain neighborhoods in many of the communities unfortunately along this particular mcdade and chester pike corridor that has issues. So i dont think its particularly more than some of the other neighborhoods but certainly we investigate all tips that we get and all criminal activity. Chief a follow up. Was mr. Island on your radar screen . We had him before. He wasnt currently being watched. To get back to your original question, were no different than anybody else to be perfectly honest with you. We got the main arteries delmar drive, chester pike, mcdade boulevard, but the drug activity that you see is nationwide any more. I mean you see what this attorney did with the narcan. Thats just for to bring people back because they wont stop almost killing themselves. So we we have the same issues that everybody else. I mean, they might be wearing shorts and jeans here and somewhere else theyre wearing a three piece suit but its all over the place. That i can tell you for a fact. Back in 2005, late 2005, early 2006, we had a council that let us try to do something about it, and that was work undercover and the reason i bring that up its not an easy thing to do in these small departments. Were not a city. Were not a township. So just to be able to have these resources to be able to do that they gave them to us and they continue to give them to us. No questions asked. Several guys working doing that just that. So you do what you can. But its just its not us. Its just i dont have an answer, you know, between the pills out there and the heroin out there and its everywhere you look. So were no better and were no worse than anybody else to be perfectly honest with you. Chief how long has it been since a folcroft officer has been shot . The last time it was before when i came on in the late 70s, there was a sergeant had been shot in the leg. Its been that long. It was accidental. I believe it may have have been self inflicted. Accidental shooting. Had officer involved shootings. Detective bear was involved in a shooting some 20 years ago about. But to have an officer injured like this, never. I mean you know, its awak awakeup call for these small towns, you know, you guys see it all the time. We all read about it all the time. And its not, you know, you dont want to say it wont happen to you. You just hope it doesnt happen to you because its happening everywhere and youre not immune to it. Over smoking grass. I mean, just hanging outside smoking grass 12 30 10 00 oclock in the morning. Somebody is willing to take your life. Do you have if anything was said between the suspect and the officer prior to the gunshots. No, i dont. Jack a follow up on a question. Do you remember the last time a Delaware County Police Officer was shot . Its been, i believe, its been a long time. However, i know that weve had issues with people firing at officers. I dont recall shot one shot, however, just to follow up on what chief has indicated, folcroft, i know folcroft inside and out. I personally had the opportunity to work in folcroft and there are really great residents here in folcroft. They care about each other. They look out for each other, and in this particular case, we got a call from a resident indicating that there was an apparent drug deal in the back of 1528 elmwood avenue which led officer dorman to the investigation and thats the type of residents you have looking out for each other, trying to eliminate any type of drug activity in their neighborhood. Ill say this you talk about different communities and stuff. Our residents, the information we get from our residents is just its mind boggling. They know were trying to do something about it and theyre always giving us were all getting calls from our residents. Its constant. And, you know, its the old say the ice and ears of the police and it really is the case. Were always getting calls. Were always getting tips. And today was a perfect example of somebody bothered to call. So many times you hear nobody calling. But were lucky that way. Is there anyone here from the Fire Department . I dont see anybody. Somebody is here somewhere but. Theres frank. Frank. He could probably answer some questions about the firehouse if he needed to. The suspects given name was donte island he went by another name. He used both names. Both. What kind of name is this. Wahi what kind of national al will the is that . We believe he would be phil 88ed with the muslim religion. Wahi or wahid with a d. No d. Whai. Thats what i believe the spelling is. Dante date. Ive seen it on the reports that ivory viewed. Ive seen it spelled both ways. Donte and dante but i believe traditionally it was spelled dante. Island. That was his name thats on his legal paper work, his name, his legal name is dante Brooks Island. Brookes. I have it as ks. I believe hes in the process of being fingerprinted and photographed. It may be a while before that is available but he is in custody. He has not been processed as we speak. Well get it to you but we dont have it yet. He wasnt even processed yet. What about the arraignment, do you believe that will happen tonight sometime. I believe it will happen tonight. Will he be taken to district justice or video. He would be taken to a district justice typically. Where, we dont know yet. Is there any motive away. Trying get away from the offic officer . There was a warn for him, not major warrant. Maybe he didnt want to be caught again. I dont know. Did the warrant come up in the conversation . Well, i dont think it did. question from reporter . He was answering a call the way the call came out, you know, the officers get those calls all the time. Sure. Suspicion activity. So maybe some drug activity. Thats basically how the call came out possible drug activity and he went back there to see what was going on behind the building, and thats where these guys were and approach the guy and the guy opened up on him. Can you say question from reporter . Chief, how many officers do you have in the department . We have 11 fulltime officers and parttime officers we have 21 altogether. I dont even know. Anybody know. District attorney jack whelan and then chief of police of folcroft chief lou could you ski talking about what happened today which is incredibly dramatic. Were listening to the scope of what happened this young officer 25 years old gets this call about suspicious drug activity. Walks up on it, is immediately in a scuffle and then he gets shot seven times. Four times in the chest thank goodness, chris, he had that bullet proof vest on. One time in the face still in surgery right now. Officer Christopher Dorman now in what we understand critical but stable condition in surgery shot in the face. Identified the suspect by Delaware County diss trek attorney as dante Brooks Island describeds a a career criminal just released from federal prison, was out and this morning as the chief said, a call of just smoking dope. Of course, we will have the very latest on this investigation. We have karen hepp and bruce gordon out at the scene now. Well have them give us an update on this in just a few minutes. But right now well tack a break and bring you back out here with the latest information. Well be right back. T cc1 t cc1 whoa [ explosion ] nothing should get in the way of the things you love.

Fox 29s Bill Anderson spoke to the impromptu crime stopper. I couldnt i couldnt look myself in the mirror to see somebody that needs help and youre able to help them, you know, not do it. I just couldnt i wasnt raced that way. Reporter Charles Arthur berry has been bus driver for septa for 28 years. In that time hes experienced a lot of things but nothing prepared him for what happened monday along his bus route. Young lady waiting on the bus scene a gentleman come up hyped her and snatch her pock book and not thinking just went after the guy. Reporter not only did mr. Arthur berry run after the suspect, norman jennings, he caught him, took him down and held him until police arrived. Today at septa headquarters, they thanked him for his efforts to protect the public. A big risk, definitely courageous. Mr. Arthur berry exited the very definition of going above and i dont know the call of duty. Reporter in time where many are afraid to assist in these types of situations mr. Art berry was moved to act. Although he says he reactioned without thinking, he also pointed out a possible reason that he couldnt just look the other way. If my wife was in that predicament i would hope somebody would try to help her whether they succeed or not its not the point its whether they tried to help her, and thats all i tried to do. I couldnt look myself in the mirror if i sat there and to the do anything. Reporter he toll us today he appreciates being acknowledged but honestly his confirmation that his actions were justified came later that day long before todays recognition. On the way home i seen her again. First thing went through my hyped if i didnt do nothing and she got back on my bus, i wouldnt be able to look at her in her face. I just wouldnt be able to do it. I was happy the fact that i was able to face her and ask her was she all right. Reporter now septa police made it clear that they genera generally recommend that people focus on being what they call good witnesses and not directly involved themselves in arrests. But in this case, they said mr. Art berry is a good example lucy of what we can accomplish when we simply care and look out for each other. All right, thank you very much, bill. Well be back in moment but first a look at your Pennsylvania Lottery numbers. T 1 t 1 whoa [ explosion ] nothing should get in the way of the things you love. Get americas fastest internet. Only from xfinity. If americas favorites vo burgers, tacos and chili ask could taste just as great made with turkey. Thousands stepped into the jennieo tasting booth to find out. With just one bite, they knew. Now its your turn to make the switch. Sixers got the pick they wanted. We went to the draft last night with number one pick and selected ben simmons. No surprise from lsu. Big ben is now a sixer. Time for him to meet the philly media. Sean bell here to talk more about the new kid on the block. Listen, you would think this city just won a championship. You would think we are cleveland the way fans are so happy actually i never thought i would say that before. Cleveland . The rock and roll hall of fame. Come on much its okay. Listen, yesterday i spoke to simmons and you can just tell this guy built for the spotlight, built for the pressure. Plus hes a guy that actually wants to be in philadelphia which is huge because last year when Jahlil Okafor was drafted you could tell on his face he didnt really want to be here. Wanting to come to philly isnt always a sure thing simmons wanting to be here, wants to go to work and today he made his introduction. Simmons up introduced today alongside the 24th pick in the draft from france his name is tough. You going to give me awhile to say it. So ill say that to you later and luckily simmons already had philly connections. Coach brett brown coached his father back when he was 15, 16 years old. So simmons said in the presser that hes already feeling comfortable with the coach and it will be very easy to play for him. Simmons is a guy who people think can do anything on the court and today he basically said, listen, theres no reason to think otherwise. Im a tough player type of player who can be put anywhere on the court and contribute. For me as point forward, you can put me in the one through five defensively and offense sill. Im not sure how good ill be but as long as im putting in the work i believe i can be very good player. But, you know, i think its going take lot of effort. Being around lebron and seeing how those guys work, it definitely motivates me a lot. Joe well embiid was at the press conference. Hopefully we can seat those two on the court before we can make a trade. We look to see what we have before all of that happens.
