Its just stuff that shouldnt be happening. Yet its happening every single day. Reporter another dirt bike was found on fifth and erie streets but it was abandoned. Investigators say that one man being questioned said his dirt bike backfired which would explain the sound that officers heard. Investigators also say that four officers involved in this are also being questioned. They never actually laid eyes on a shooter. Reporting live in center city. Nbc10 news. And more break
