Maurice Hill, the man convicted of shooting six Philadelphia police officers during a 2019 standoff, was sentenced Thursday to 120 to 240 years in prison.

The sentencing follows Hill’s conviction back in May.

The 41-year-old was found guilty on multiple charges stemming from the hours-long standoff in August 2019.

It happened on the 3700 block of North 15th Street in the city’s Tioga-Nicetown section.

Nine officers were injured during the incident, six of them by gunfire. Two police officers and three civilians were trapped inside the home as Hill fired more than 100 rounds at narcotics officers before eventually surrendering.

Hill was convicted on three counts of attempted murder, nine counts of aggravated assault, nine counts of assault of a law enforcement officer, and multiple gun charges. He was acquitted of drug charges.

During the trial, Hill testified that he believed someone was breaking into his home and claimed he acted in self-defense.
