Investigators say a Philadelphia police officer suffered a non-fatal gunshot wound when he was struck by friendly fire during a struggle with an armed suspect who was shot and killed.

Officers from the Philadelphia Police Department responded to a property on the 2800 block of Ruth Street for reports of shots fired. Four officers entered the basement of the property and found Dimitri Klimov hiding in a crawl space.

Authorities say the Taser was deployed, but did not say if it struck Klimov. During the struggle, police say an officer noticed Klimov was armed with a gun which caused three officers to open fire.
