A day after the deadly police shooting police tape, tire tracks, and broken car parts still remained at the scene."I was actually about three or four blocks away, and all I heard was gunfire," said Leins. "When we heard that, we knew something was going down."Suspect dead after police pursuit, shooting in Delaware County; injured officer recoveringPolice say officers were pursuing a suspect vehicle that was believed to be involved in another shooting.
The pursuit led officers from Chester into Upland, then back into Chester where the driver of the suspect vehicle crashed on West 14th Street and Arbor Drive."As he attempted to pull that vehicle over, the vehicle driver got out of the car shooting his gun, firing at the police officer. The police officer returned fire, and the officer was wounded," said District Attorney Jack Stollsteimer.He was transported to Crozer-Chester Medical Center where he continued to recover on Sunday.
"Please keep Brother Byrne in your thoughts and prayers as he recovers from today's incident. The professionalism of the Chester police as well as the Upland Borough and Chester Township police officers displayed today was truly remarkable. Chester City officers operate almost daily in less-than-ideal staffing and work conditions. Despite these persistent issues, Chester officers continue to work and make a real impact on the crime in Chester City. Their daily sacrifices, time, and extra effort given on each call are clearly making a noticeable difference in Chester City."A news conference is scheduled for Monday at 2:30 p.m. where the district attorney and Chester police commissioner will provide new details on the shooting.
