Montgomery County District Attorney and Plymouth Township Chief of Police John C. Myrsiades have released a statement about the stabbing and shooting that took place at the Plymouth Gardens Apartments in Conshohocken (Plymouth Township) last night at approximately 11:30 p.m.

According to the statement, police were called to the apartment community in response to a report of an armed subject. Upon arrival, police discovered a woman outside with multiple stab wounds and a 22-year-old male who appeared to be armed with a handgun. The male would not comply with commands from the officers and was shot when he pointed a handgun at them.

Officers rendered aid to the male, who was taken by Plymouth Ambulance to Suburban Community Hospital in East Norriton. He was pronounced dead at 1:34 a.m.

The woman, who has been identified as the male’s mother, is in stable condition at a local hospital.

The protocol calls for Montgomery County Detectives to investigate officer-involved shootings, and an investigation is underway.
