Daily News | Landlord-tenant officer shoots woman during eviction, police say
A Philadelphia landlord-tenant officer shot a woman 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 the woman, who was taken to a nearby hospital. Police did not immediately have a status on her 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.
