22-year-old college baseball player shot and killed by police after knocking on wrong door, family says<\/p>\n

UPPER POTTSGROVE TOWNSHIP, Pa. \u2014<\/p>\n

Authorities in Pennsylvania are investigating the fatal shooting of a 22-year-old man by police in Upper Pottsgrove after he mistakenly knocked on the door of the wrong house over the weekend.<\/p>\n

The victim, Glenn Pysher, had been out at a bar with friends on Saturday night. According to his mother, Erin Pysher, Glenn decided to walk to a friend\u2019s house when the celebration moved to another location. <\/p>\n

“And ended up at the wrong house,” Erin Pysher said. “After having a few drinks, he didn’t know that, and so he was knocking on the back door saying, ‘Hey, let me in,’ thinking it was his friend’s house. But it wasn’t.” <\/p>\n

Glenn approached the home shortly after midnight. The couple inside, startled by the knocking, called 911 at 12:32 a.m.<\/p>\n

“At 12:32 he was on his phone with his friends. By 12:35, I believe he was already shot. So within a few minutes, the cops showed up and shot him. He was unarmed. He had a cellphone and a book bag,” Erin said.<\/p>\n

Surveillance cameras in the backyard of the property reportedly captured the deadly encounter, and the recording is being used as part of the investigation. WPVI in Philadelphia<\/a> was told that the Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office is handling the case. <\/p>\n

Family and baseball<\/p>\n

Glenn\u2019s parents described him as a “lovable goofball” who had two great loves: his family and baseball. <\/p>\n

Glenn had recently transferred to St. Elizabeth University in New Jersey, where he was preparing to play baseball. <\/p>\n

“He’ll walk in the back door and yell his favorite saying, ‘Mom, your favorite kid is home,'” Erin said. “He was just happy-go-lucky, no care in the world, and I’m going to miss that.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"22-year-old college baseball player shot and killed by police after knocking on wrong door, family says UPPER POTTSGROVE…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":788120,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2289],"tags":[96809,22729,96806,5,96807,96804,96803,648,96779,96800,16640,96780,6901,78295,7614,96795,220,7040,1085,96778,1694,2341,5786,3838,4589,96796,96805,96801,96802,96794,96808,96798,96797,96799],"class_list":["post-788119","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-college-baseball","tag-22-year-old-man","tag-911-call","tag-bar-with-friends","tag-baseball","tag-baseball-glenn","tag-book-bag","tag-cellphone","tag-college-baseball","tag-college-baseball-player","tag-district-attorney","tag-door","tag-erin-pysher","tag-family","tag-fatal-shooting","tag-friend","tag-glenn-pysher","tag-home","tag-investigation","tag-montgomery-county","tag-montgomery-county-district-attorney","tag-ncaa","tag-ncaa-baseball","tag-new-jersey","tag-pennsylvania","tag-police","tag-police-shooting","tag-st-elizabeth-university","tag-surveillance-video","tag-unarmed-man","tag-upper-pottsgrove","tag-wpvi","tag-wrong-door","tag-wrong-house","tag-wrong-house-shooting"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":"Validation failed: Text character limit of 500 exceeded"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/788119","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=788119"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/788119\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/788120"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=788119"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=788119"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=788119"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
