College student fatally shot by police after knocking on wrong door
Glenn Pysher was trying to find his friends when he accidentally knocked on the door of the wrong house. The homeowners called 911 to report an attempted break-in.
A 22-year-old college student, Glenn Pysher, was fatally shot by police after mistakenly knocking on the wrong door in Pennsylvania on Saturday night. Known as Bubba to his friends and family, Pysher had been celebrating with friends at a local bar before moving the party to a nearby house. Believing the house to be unoccupied, he knocked on the door, which triggered an attempted break-in report from the homeowners.
Police arrived at the scene and found Pysher in the back of the home, leading to an encounter where he was shot and killed. The Montgomery County District Attorney's Office stated that an encounter ensued, resulting in the fatal shooting. Police have not released any information about the incident, but the Upper Pottsgrove Police Department confirmed it was under investigation.
Pysher's parents are demanding answers and justice, expressing their desire to know the facts surrounding the tragic incident. His parents described him as a good kid who loved playing baseball and was about to start classes at Saint Elizabeth University in New Jersey. His father, Glenwood Pysher, told CBS News, "He was such a good kid, the community here loved him, and nobody can believe this happened to this young man who wouldn't hurt a fly."
