52-year-old Joseph A. Pacini (picture) who had posted rambling rants and violent threats against police was shot and killed by officers Tuesday as they tried to arrest him in Drexel Hill.
When officers from three departments confronted Joseph A. Pacini of Clifton Heights and ordered him to get out of his car, he instead gunned his Nissan sedan into reverse and struck a police vehicle, according to Upper Darby Police Superintendent Michael Chitwood.
Five officers then opened fire.
"The officers were in fear of their lives and did what they had to do," Chitwood said. "He threatened to kill police, threatened to kill FBI agents." More Strange News
