3 Officer-Involved Shootings In Two Weeks In Montgomery County

NORRISTOWN, PA — Three police-involved shootings took place in Montgomery County over the course of just two weeks. The District Attorney's Office is investigating all three incidents.

The first incident occurred in Norristown on Feb. 27 when police chased an armed suspect into a yard, shooting him once in the arm.

On March 5, a stabbing suspect was shot and killed in Abington.

And then on March 9 in Pottstown, a suicidal man was shot and killed by police.

The names of the victims and officers involved in the shootings will be not released as investigations are underway, per county policy.

A similar investigation followed the shooting of an armed robbery suspect in King of Prussia last October.
