TL;DR Summary

A Pennsylvania police officer, Cpl. Sean Farrell, was charged with voluntary manslaughter for fatally shooting 22-year-old Glenwood Earl Pysher IV, who was unarmed with his hands in the air after approaching the wrong house to find friends. Body-worn camera video shows Farrell firing two shots after ordering him to drop to the ground; prosecutors say the officer had less-lethal options and the shooting was unjustified. Farrell surrendered, bail was set at $75,000, and a preliminary hearing is scheduled. The case adds to ongoing scrutiny of police use of force in on-duty shootings.
