A 22-year-old college student was shot and killed by police in Pennsylvania after he mistakenly went to the wrong house and was waiting for his friends to pick him up, his father said. Police in Upper Pottsgrove Township, northwest of Philadelphia, responded around 12:30 am Sunday to a 911 call reporting a possible break-in, CNN reported citing Montgomery County district attorney’s office. Pysher’s father said his son was on a FaceTime call with his friends at 12:32 am, while police were dispatched at 12:30 am and arrived at 12:34 am, according to a Montgomery County Department of Public Safety dispatch record.
The family has also said it has received little information from police. Officers found Glenwood Pysher IV at the rear of the house and later shot him dead. His friends later saw police and emergency vehicles at the location and initially believed Pysher would be arrested for public drunkenness. Instead, he had been shot. Upper Pottsgrove Township Police Chief Al Werner has declined to release details, including the names of the officers involved, pending the investigation. His father described him as kind-hearted and loving, saying former teammates, coaches and others had reached out with memories of him since his death.
