Shooting of police officers in Philadelphia

As Instapundit says,

Shot: Philadelphia mayor calls for more gun control in wake of shootings. "Mayor Jim Kenney said: "Our officers need help. They need help. They need help with gun control. They need help with keeping these weapons out of these people's hands.""

Chaser: Suspect in shootings has long criminal history, including multiple gun law convictions. His first arrest was at age 18, for possession of a gun with an altered serial number. He's served time for being a felon in possession. All in all, he's been "convicted six times on charges that involved illegal possession of guns, drug dealing, and aggravated assault. Hill has been to prison multiple times, including a 55-month sentence in 2010."
