Fatal Street Racing and Police Shooting in Philadelphia

An 18-year-old was shot and killed by a Pennsylvania State Trooper during a street racing incident in Philadelphia. Troopers were dispatched to I-95 to find a large group of cars blocking lanes of the highway while doing "burnouts" and "drifting," with a number of pedestrians spectating. As officials attempted to make contact with the driver of a black Audi S4 parked on the shoulder of I-95, two troopers say they were struck by the vehicle when it failed to yield. One of the troopers discharged his service pistol and struck the driver, who was later identified as 18-year-old Anthony Allegrini Jr. of Glen Mills, Delaware County.
