USA Today is reporting that the suspect, 52, had posted threats against law enforcement on YouTube.
Police shot dead a man outside Philadelphia on Tuesday when he tried to run over officers attempting to arrest him for posting YouTube threats against law enforcement, authorities said.
The unidentified 52-year-old was wanted for terroristic threats. He was killed about 4:30 p.m. in Drexel Hill, Delaware County, when he accelerated back into the SUV of the Clifton Heights, Pa., police chief and then tried to run over other officers, said Upper Darby Police Superintendent Michael Chitwood.
…
Chitwood said the suspect had “threatened to kill police, threatened to kill FBI agents” in the video.
