Philadelphia’s police commissioner says a police officer who shot and killed a driver sitting in his car last week is being suspended and will be fired
who was sitting in his car last week in north Philadelphia is being suspended and will be fired.
Police said Dial was approaching the passenger’s side and warned the other officer, who was approaching the driver’s side, that the driver had a weapon. “As the male turned” toward that officer, the officer fired multiple times into the vehicle, police said in a statement the night after the shooting that changed their initial account of events.
Police in their revised account said two knives “were observed inside the vehicle” but declined to say whether the driver was holding a weapon or was ordered to drop one. A detective said one appeared to be a “kitchen-style knife” and the other a “serrated folding knife.” Police haven’t released the body-worn camera footage of the two officers, saying that is up to the district attorney since it is considered evidence in that office’s investigation. That probe aims to determine whether officers followed the law while the police department’s probe is to determine whether they followed department policies and procedures.
