A 45-year-old Darby man has been identified and charged with attempted murder and related charges in the shooting of a Philadelphia police officer, authorities announced Thursday.
Two Delaware County men were charged in the non-fatal shooting of a Philadelphia police officer during a traffic stop Wednesday afternoon.
"It’s in that moment in that split second that Officer Maysonet is trying to get the defendant to turn around that shots are fired, you can see all of that on the body-worn camera," Assistant District Attorney Joanne Pescatore said in a Thursday press conference. Officer Maysonet was driven by Officer Couch to Penn Presbyterian Hospital where he was originally placed in critical condition. Philadelphia Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw, who was out of town and rushed back to Philadelphia, later told reporters outside the hospital that the 32-year-old Maysonet is stable and expected to recover.
