Delaware County Black Caucus calls for officers involved in fatal shooting of 8-year-old to be fired

Chester Township police were notified on January 14, 2025, of a suspected child abuse case at Chester Community Charter School.

The man was driven to a psychiatric hospital in a police van but was not handcuffed because he had agreed to go voluntarily.

Officers confronted the man on the 1600 block of Moore Street after he was seen walking with a rifle. The man is hospitalized in critical condition; no officers were injured.
