Pa. trooper fatally shoots suspect while delivering warrant
READING, Pa. (AP) — Pennsylvania State Police say a trooper fatally shot a man while serving an arrest warrant at a Reading row home.
Police say the man resisted arrest before the trooper opened fire around 4 a.m. Friday.
A neighbor says he saw police in SWAT gear and heard shouting, a loud explosion and five or six gunshots.
The trooper is a member of the state police’s Special Emergency Response Team. The unit had been called in to assist Berks County detectives in serving the warrant.
Police say the warrant was for the man who was shot. They didn’t release his name.
Reading is about 60 miles northwest of Philadelphia.
