Officer Charged After Shooting Unarmed Student | Charleston News

A Pennsylvania police corporal is charged with voluntary manslaughter after shooting and killing an unarmed 22-year-old college student who had mistakenly gone to the wrong house late at night. The victim, Glenwood Pysher IV, had his hands raised and posed no threat — yet the officer, Corporal Sean Farrell, chose not to use less-lethal options like a taser before firing twice at a distance of 17 to 20 feet. Body cam footage shows Pysher complying as he moves toward the officer. Farrell turned himself in, posted $75,000 bail, surrendered all weapons, and faces a preliminary hearing in September. No weapons were found on Pysher. This heartbreaking case underscores urgent needs for better de-escalation training and accountability in policing.
