A fatal officer-involved shooting is under investigation in Montgomery County: YES

Montgomery County District Attorney Kevin R. Steele has opened an investigation into an officer-involved shooting that occurred Sunday in Upper Moreland.

According to the DA, at 11:52 a.m., Upper Moreland Township police received a 911 call for a domestic disturbance at the Commerce Square Apartments in the Willow Grove area of ​​Upper Moreland Township.

Two officers arrived at the scene and an 83-year-old female resident let them inside.

Police entered the apartment to find a 68-year-old man, also a resident, armed with a handgun.

They say he ignored police commands to drop the firearm and eventually began to raise the firearm, at which point police fired, fatally wounding the man.

Montgomery County detectives responded to the scene to investigate the shooting.
