Family members have identified the 22-year-old man shot and killed by an Upper Pottsgrove Township police officer early Sunday morning as Glenwood "Bubba" Pysher.
Pysher’s mother said he had been bar-hopping with friends earlier in the night and mistakenly walked to the Snyder Road house, believing it was his friend's home, and tried to get inside.
"What happened? Could it have been de-escalated? We don’t know, but we want to figure that out," she said.
Pysher was scheduled to return to college today to start classes and play baseball at Saint Elizabeth University in New Jersey, his mother added.
