A 22-year-old college student was fatally shot by police over the weekend after he accidentally knocked on the wrong door of a home in Pennsylvania, and now his parents are demanding answers. Glenn Pysher, known to his family and friends as Bubba, spent Saturday night celebrating with friends at a local bar in Upper Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania. When the group decided to move the party to a house nearby, Pysher walked there alone and mistakenly knocked on the wrong door.His mother, Erin Pysher, said she thinks he got "mixed up" because the house is in a wooded area. The homeowners called 911 to report an attempted break-in. Police arrived early Sunday and found Pysher in the back of the home. "So he probably was knocking, 'Hey, let me in, where are you at, what are you doing?' And the homeowners thought he was trying to break into the house and called the cops," his mother told CBS News about what she thinks happened.There, the Montgomery County District Attorney's Office said, an encounter ensued, and Glenn Pysher was shot and killed. The Upper Pottsgrove Police Department has not released any information about the shooting, but said the incident was under investigation."At 12:32, we have the call log, he was talking on the phone with his friends," his mother told CBS News. "By 12:35, I believe, the cops had already shown up and shot him."
