Man Shot, Killed After Allegedly Trying to Run Over Police Officers
A man was shot and killed by police after he allegedly tried to run them over with his car in Delaware County Tuesday.
The suspect was wanted for terroristic threats after he allegedly threatened to kill police and FBI agents in a video posted on YouTube. Police followed the man as he left a relative's home in Clifton Heights late Monday afternoon, according to investigators.
The man was then stopped by Clifton Heights, Upper Darby and Haverford Police officers at Garrett Road and Shadeland Avenue in Drexel Hill. After officers told him to get out of the car, the suspect allegedly put his car in reverse and accelerated, slamming into the vehicle of the Clifton Heights Police chief.
The man then allegedly tried to run over other officers with his vehicle. The officers took out their weapons and opened fire, striking the man several times. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police have not yet identified the suspect but describe him as a 52-year-old white male. They plan on searching his car to determine whether or not he had a weapon.
No officers were hurt during the incident.
