Police also said they were met with a hostile crowd at the scene of the shooting.
"We come here to help people and this is how we’re met? So, that being said, as the district attorney stated, we’ve seen enough violence," Gross said.
Gross also said that the hostilities were so bad that we had to deploy our emergency deployment teams from throughout the city to come and render assistance to the responding officers that were just trying to help victims of a crime.”
