Did they really let his lawyer enter the building and walk him out?

Suspect surrendered! In custody.

#BREAKING: Suspect has surrendered. We're on LIVE with the latest details

In the end, he didn't have the will to die. Kudos to all those who set up the opportunity for his lawyer to talk to him and convince him to surrender. I doubt he has any more light sentences coming. Given his past, I am sure the neighborhood and that part of Philly will be a little safer for him being in prison.

Wow, he must really like this lawyer.

What lawyer would do this? Amazing.

Not sure if he did or not. Tweet 5 minutes before the surrender this journalist tweeted this:

Now reports of smoke and loud bangs at scene. Discussions may not have panned out...

And, then, the post came that he was in custody.

I'm a little taken aback at that, but apparently so. MOO

ETA: Ummm, or maybe not?

Not sure how often something like this happens, where a lawyer essentially convinces a former client to give themselves up. But I would imagine it's rare. Always the best scenario when nobody dies, although only the most decent of human beings would shed a tear if the suspect had been taken out. No doubt in my mind that the lawyer saved him. I can't imagine that the police were going to keep talking at this point, and almost certainly wanted it over by sunrise.

Ha! We’ll find out soon enough I guess.

I just can’t imagine that they would allow anyone to go near him, but maybe they do things differently in Philly.

I can't imagine it either, especially given that he was shooting through the ceiling to the rooms where the police and civilians were.

It varies from place to place, but typically the sheriff’s department is responsible for an entire county.

The jurisdiction of the police is limited to the particular city or town.

The sheriff also runs the jails.

so maybe country versus city police

 

[Dontknow?]

Heard smoke was seen so not so sure the lawyer went in, maybe talked to him via phone etc... I'm skeptical about a lawyer allowed to go in. I think it was flash bangs and/or tear gas that flushed him out. But anything can happen.

He looks fried out of his gourd. Gas? MOO

He looks fried out of his gourd. MOO

I thought so too! But with the super bright lights on him, he might have been blinded.

jmo

 

[1&2&3]

Thank goodness it is over!

As far as we know, there are no deaths or major injuries either. This is a miracle with as many rounds as were shot.

 

[MassGuy]

The sheriff’s department would just be there to offer support to the Philadelphia police.

Can never have too much backup.
