The press had better wake up! All the signs are there for this to be a terror attack. This man has the long beard and prayer bump on his forehead to tell us he’s a great candidate for extreme ideology as a Muslim.

The man who allegedly shot a Folcroft police officer seven times on Friday morning, and opened fire on a second officer, is under arrest.

The officer who was shot is identified as 25-year-old Officer Christopher Dorman. He is hospitalized in critical but stable condition.

The suspect is identified as Donte Brooks Island, aka Abdul Wahi. He is charged with two counts of attempted murder, two counts of aggravated assault and related offenses.

Action News was there Friday as Island was escorted to a patrol car to be taken to his arraignment. He is being held on $1 million bail.

Island had been recently released from prison after serving time for drug and firearms violations, District Attorney Jack Whelan said.

The shooting happened behind an apartment complex in the 1500 block of Elmwood Street around 10 a.m. Friday.

Authorities say Dorman was dispatched to the location for a report of a man possibly dealing drugs.

Dorman arrived on the scene and confronted Island, police say. There was a struggle and Island allegedly drew his weapon and shot Dorman seven times.
