An incident in which a teen driver was shot and killed by police after allegedly striking two state troopers with his vehicle capped a night of chaotic car meetups in Philadelphia over the weekend, officials said. RosemaryConnors has the details:
"It was a chaotic scene," said McShea.
"One trooper then discharged his service pistol through the front windshield and struck Allegrini who was seated in the driver's seat," said McShea. State Police did not respond to Hocking's comments but investigators are standing by their statement that Allegrini was inside the car when he was shot. Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner, whose office is handling the investigation into this shooting, took a moment to note that his office plans to act independently in its investigation.Krasner said that his office is still reviewing footage taken from that evening.
At about 1 a.m, on Sunday, officers found"hundreds" of people gathered near the intersection of Bustleton and Philmont avenues. During that incident some bystanders allegedly threw bricks at responding officers, though no officers were injured.
