Daily News | Philly police officer shot in the hand during standoff was struck by ‘friendly fire,’ officials say
A Philadelphia police officer was shot in the hand by another officer last week during a fatal standoff in Kensington, officials said Monday. They also identified the man who police fatally shot as Dimitri Klimov.
Together, at the home on Ruth Street, the officers found Klimov with a gun in a crawl space and struggled to get him to exit the area. It was unclear Monday if an officer or Klimov triggered the Taser, or what immediately happened next. Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw said the day after the shooting that the Taser “was not effective.”Ditro then told the others that Klimov had a gun, police said. Three officers — Ditro, Cespedes and Spicer — fired at Klimov, who was pronounced dead at the scene.
