Philadelphia police released surveillance video of one of the suspects wanted in the deadly shooting at Philadelphia International Airport on Friday night. One officer was killed and another was injured. An 18-year-old man was also shot and killed during the incident.
In the video released by police, a man can be seen approaching a sliding glass door before running away.
