PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Police are investigating after a Philadelphia Parking Authority officer was shot while on duty in the city's Frankford neighborhood.
It happened around 4 p.m. on the 4500 block of Frankford Avenue on Friday afternoon.
Police say a 37-year-old male PPA officer was shot in the ear and shoulder. He was rushed to an area hospital for serious injuries.
"It's bold. It's brazen and something we're definitely going to do everything we can to solve immediately," said Philadelphia Police Deputy Commissioner Frank Vanore.
Witnesses told police a car pulled up, shots were fired and then the suspect sped away.
No arrests have been made and no weapon was recovered.
Police are still investigating what led to the shooting.
