A Philadelphia landlord-tenant officer shot a woman in the head while trying to enforce an eviction on Wednesday morning, police said.
The incident took place inside the Girard Court Apartments in the city’s Sharswood section shortly after 9 a.m., where an officer with the First Judicial District “became involved in a confrontation with at least two people” while trying to serve a court-ordered eviction, according to Deputy Police Commissioner Frank Vanore.
The officer discharged a weapon and struck a woman, 35, who was taken to Penn Presbyterian Medical Center and placed in critical condition. Vanore said a weapon was recovered at the scene and police were waiting on a warrant to search the apartment.A spokesperson for the First Judicial District could not immediately be reached for comment.Unlike other jurisdictions, Philadelphia relies on a private law office appointed by the courts to execute evictions, known as a Landlord Tenant Officer, in exchange for millions in related eviction fees. The office in turn deputizes private security contractors to perform on site lockouts.
