A man who police say shot at officers during a standoff that lasted nearly eight hours in Philadelphia has been identified as Maurice Hill, Philadelphia Police Commissioner Richard Ross told CNN. PHILADELPHIA (CNN) - Barricaded inside his home, surrounded by SWAT teams in an hourslong standoff in Philadelphia, suspect Maurice Hill called the one person he felt he could trust. "Uncle, I need your help," Hill told Shaka Johnson, who told CNN that "Uncle" is a term of endearment he hears from many of his clients. "Everybody had their own agenda, quite frankly," Johnson told CNN. Just after midnight -- nearly eight hours after the shooting began, and nearly four hours after Hill called Johnson -- Hill put down the phone and surrendered.
