Investigation Underway After 22-Year-Old College Baseball Player Reportedly Shot And Killed By Police When Attempting To Enter Wrong Home During Night

A 22-year-old college baseball player was shot and killed by police officers after he attempted to enter the wrong house during a night of drinking, his family says.

The victim, Glenn Pysher, had been at a bar with friends on Saturday night in Pennsylvania celebrating a friend’s birthday.

The group decided to move the celebration to a friend’s house since it was getting late.

Erin Pysher, the victim’s mother, said he decided to walk to his friend’s house.

“He ended up at the wrong house after having a few drinks. He didn’t know that, so he was knocking on the door saying, ‘Hey, let me in.’ Thinking it was his friend’s house, but it wasn’t,” his mother said, according to WPVI.

WPVI shared further:

It all unfolded at a home in Upper Pottsgrove a bit past midnight. The couple inside was startled and called 911.

“12:32, he was on the phone with his friends. By 12:35, I believe he’s already shot. So, within a few minutes, the cop pulled up and shot him. He was unarmed. He had a cell phone and a book bag,” recalled Pysher.

Surveillance cameras set up in the backyard of the property recorded the deadly encounter, and that recording is reportedly being used as part of the investigation. Action News was not given access to those recordings.

In the meantime, the Pyshers say their son was a wonderful young man who loved baseball almost as much as he loved his family. In fact, he was getting ready to play ball at Saint Elizabeth University in New Jersey, to where he had recently transferred.

According to the Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office, the couple that lived inside the home reported a possible break-in to police.

Police officers found Pysher at the rear of the property when they arrived.

Some community members want answers to how the situation unfolded.

“What happened? Could it have been de-escalated?” a family friend asked, according to Daily Mail.

“We don’t know, but we want to figure that out,” they added.

Daily Mail has more:

‘To see someone that has so much potential, because he was so excited about going back to school, lose their life, it hurts,’ Kia told Fox 29.

‘He was an amazing soul, young man, never got in any trouble, well-respected.’

Everyone in the community will now remember him for ‘his love for baseball and the joy he found in catching balls, something that brought so much pride to his father, mother, three sisters and the entire Pysher family,’ Anthony Napoli said in a statement.

‘Bubba meant so much to so many and his loss has deeply shaken all who loved him.’

Off the field, Pysher’s grieving mother said he was a ‘lovable goofball.’

‘He will walk in the backdoor and say his favorite thing, “Hey mom, your favorite kid is home,”‘ she said. ‘He was just happy-go-lucky, didn’t have a care in the world, and I’m going to miss that.’

The Montgomery County Detective Bureau is now investigating the officer-involved shooting.
