Daily News | Chester County DA identifies 56-year-old man shot by police
The Chester County District Attorney’s Office identified the 56-year-old man who was shot by police after he allegedly crashed a stolen car into a police vehicle and threatened to shoot a gun though he was not actually armed.
Luminello allegedly was driving the stolen car shortly before 2 a.m. Wednesday on Lincoln Highway near Marshalton-Thorndale Road when a Caln Township police officer tried to conduct a traffic stop, but Luminello continued driving into a residential area, prosecutors said.. The officer dove out of the way to avoid being struck, prosecutors said.The force of the impact propelled the police vehicle about 40 yards away, prosecutors said.
One officer fired four times, striking Luminello in the right leg. He fell to the ground but continued to act in a violent manner, prosecutors said, so one of the officers used a Taser on Luminello. He was transported to Paoli Memorial Hospital to be treated for the gunshot wound and for a broken elbow, prosecutors said.
