According to the Montgomery County District Attorney's Office, at approximately 12:30 a.m. on Sunday, police in Upper Pottsgrove Township, northwest of Philadelphia, received a 911 call reporting an attempted burglary.
据蒙哥马利县地区检察官办公室通报,周日凌晨约12时30分,费城西北部的Upper Pottsgrove Township警方接到911报警,称有人企图实施入室盗窃。

该办公室在声明中表示,警方在住宅后方发现Glenwood Pysher IV,并最终开枪将其击毙。
Pysher's father, Glen Pysher, stated that earlier that evening, his son and friends had visited several bars before planning to split up and head to two different residences for the night; however, his son lost his way in the woods.
Pysher的父亲Glen Pysher表示,当晚早些时候,他的儿子与朋友们曾辗转数家酒吧,随后计划分头前往两处住所过夜,然而他的儿子却在树林中迷失了方向。
Based on the account given by his son's friends, Pysher believes that his son mistook a certain house for a friend's home and consequently attempted to break in.
据儿子朋友所述情况,Pysher认为他的儿子误将某处房屋认作朋友家,因而试图闯入。
He added that his son was not carrying any weapons at the time, having only a mobile phone on his person, along with a backpack containing clothes and several bottles of beer.

"He attempted to turn the doorknob, evidently startling the homeowner," he remarked.
“他试图转动门把手,显然惊扰了房主,”他说道。
"Based on what we have gathered, he shouted, 'Hey! Open the door!' because he mistakenly believed he was at a friend's residence."

Subsequently, Pysher settled onto the back porch and reached out to several friends, who only then realized he had taken a wrong turn and set off to find him.
随后,Pysher落座于后门廊,联络了几位友人,他们方才意识到他走错了路,遂动身前去寻他。
However, within a matter of minutes, they caught sight of police cars and emergency vehicles racing to the scene, initially assuming that their friend had merely been taken into custody for public intoxication.
然而,不过数分钟光景,他们便瞥见警车与急救车辆呼啸而至,起初以为这位朋友不过是因在公共场合醉酒而遭拘捕。
To their astonishment, he had been struck by gunfire.
孰料,他竟身中枪弹。
"At 12:32 a.m., my son was on a FaceTime call with his friends who had come to pick him up," he said.

And what room for communication did that officer afford him?"
