KYW Newsradio’s Jim Melwert reports that funeral services were held Monday for 22-year-old Glenwood Pysher, who was shot and killed by Upper Pottsgrove police after going to the wrong house while out with friends.
A steady stream of mourners lined the sidewalk outside Warker-Troutman Funeral Home on High Street in Pottstown to pay their respects. Pysher, known to friends and family as Bubba, was 22.
Pysher was shot and killed around 12:30 a.m. on Aug. 23, after Upper Pottsgrove officers were called to a home on Snyder Road for a possible break-in.
The Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office is handling the investigation. Few details have been released.
According to his family, Pysher had been out with friends and mistakenly went to the wrong house.
It remains unclear why the officer opened fire. The Montgomery County Coroner’s Office said Pysher was killed by gunshots to the chest.
Pysher was about to start his senior year at Saint Elizabeth College in New Jersey, with plans to become a teacher and baseball coach after graduation.
He was remembered for his zest for life, his passion for baseball, fishing, video games, and time with friends and loved ones.
