 Title: Philadelphia police: Man who tried to kill officer
 pledged allegiance to the Islamic State



         The article of this week is about a Philadelphia police officer who was almost assasinated by an attacker on Thursday night in Philadelphia. The attacker was firing a stolen gun without the police officer's knowledge of his existence near the car, and the gunman shot at the officer multiple times. The officer was hit three times in his left arm, which was broken and in "significant damage." The attacker was taken in to custody and confessed to commiting the crime in the name of Islam. I chose this article because terroism and ISIS is becoming a huge problem nationwide. This unfortunate incident shows that terroism is still alive and ISIS is building a dangerous army. The law enforcers, put in place to protect society, are being attacked. Innocent people are losing their lives because of many attackers like the one in this article are following in the footsteps of the dangerous organization the we of as ISIS. This is becoming a big problem that needs to be taken care of in order for the safety of the world and our community.
