PHILADELPHIA – A Philadelphia police SWAT officer was treated and released at a local hospital after police say he was shot in his bulletproof vest in North Philadelphia while serving a warrant.
The incident occurred Friday afternoon on the 100 block of West Lehigh Avenue.

Police tell FOX 29 the officer was serving a drug warrant inside a three-story building. As the SWAT team was approaching the third floor unit they say a suspect fired at least two shots through the wall.

The lead SWAT officer was struck once in the chest, and the round struck his bulletproof vest.

Fabricio M. Rodriguez, Security Guards, Philadelphia troublemaker, hell-raiser, outside agitator

Fabricio Rodriguez is a Philadelphia troublemaker, hell-raiser, outside agitator and organizer. In other words, he’s a professional protester who helps empower workers, immigrants and communities to fight for their rights. He founded the local Restaurant Opportunities Center and the independent Philadelphia Security Officers Union, and he currently works for POWER Interfaith, which works to ensure that the needs and priorities of all Philadelphians are reflected in the systems and policies that shape the city. Fabricio is also a board member of Bread and Roses Community Fund and the Windcall Institute, and he blogs about his organizing experiences at ThatFinalStraw.com.

The seeds of protest were sewn within Fabricio Rodriguez fifteen years ago when he and his father were fired from their jobs in an Alaskan subsurface mine after demanding their legal right to take a lunch break. When that protest eventually led to lunch breaks for all the miners, Rodriguez realized that the only rights we have are the ones we take. In this dynamic, surprising and riveting account of his life as a professional troublemaker, Rodriguez describes how protest needn’t be only angry – it can also be beautiful, fun, musical or faith-filled – and declares that direct action remains the best tool we have to re-set the agenda of the powerful.
