Ex-Cooper Hospital worker charged with stealing medical supplies valued at $2.5 million<\/a><\/p>\nOne of the officers exited their vehicle and a \u201cconfrontation\u201d quickly broke out before shots were fired,\u00a0Deputy Police Commissioner Frank Vanore said.<\/p>\n
Police did not identify the man, who officials said was struck one time and taken to Penn Presbyterian Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead at 7:33 a.m.<\/p>\n
\nOther people were on the property at the time of the shooting, Vanore said, but there were no injuries reported to anyone else.\n<\/p>\n
\nThe man and police officer each fired one shot during the confrontation, Vanore said, but it was unknown at this time who shot first. The officer\u2019s body camera was activated during the shooting, and its footage is being evaluated.\n<\/p>\n
\n\u201cWe believe that the male fired his weapon and the officer fired her weapon, but right now we don\u2019t have all that information together,\u201d he said. \u201c… There\u2019s a lot of work that has to be done before we know definitively what occurred.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\nThe officer, who officials did not identify, has three years of experience on the force, NBC10<\/a> reported. She\u00a0will be placed on administrative duty pending the outcome of the investigation. An\u00a0update on the probe is expected by the end of the week, said\u00a0Jasmine Col\u00f3n-Reilly, of the department\u2019s Public Affairs Office.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A 75-year-old man was fatally shot by police in West Philadelphia on Tuesday morning.
