Police have changed their account of a fatal shooting by a Philadelphia officer during a traffic stop earlier this week
Police have changed their account of a fatal shooting by a Philadelphia officer earlier this week, acknowledging that the person was shot inside the car rather than outside and no longer saying that he fled a traffic stop and later “lunged at” police with a knife.
Police haven't identified the officers involved and a spokesperson said body camera footage “is considered evidence in an ongoing investigation by the district attorney,” whose office will decide on the procedure for its release. Police originally said Monday that officers tried to pull the driver over but he fled. Cpl. Jasmine Reilly also said at that time that he came out of the car with a knife and “lunged” at officers, ignoring commands to drop the weapon.
