New Info On Man Shot By Officer

There is new information about a west Philadelphia homeowner shot by a Philadelphia police officer.

It isn't the first time this cop fired his weapon

The incident happened Wednesday evening in the 6000 block of Christian Street, near south 60th.

The victim, a father of two girls, is in critical condition, shot by a police officer inside his own home.

Now that police officer is being investigated for the second time this year:

The incident started with two 9-1-1 calls of a burglary in progress, which wasn't actually a burglary.

The supposed burglar, the homeowner, is involved in a property dispute with his former in-laws.

So chances are that homeowner, Stephen Saddiq Moore, might have been angry when police showed up.

A neighbor told Moore's lawyer what he heard.

"The police were at his door. He saw them, he came out and he heard him shouting something like "it's my house,' " said Craig sokolow.

Police officer Larry Shields, a 13-year veteran on the force, then confronted Moore inside the home.

Investigators say shields pulled his gun and shot Moore in the arm. The bullet traveled into his chest.

Police say Moore was not armed.

Mark Frost is the lawyer for Josh Taylor, another homeowner shot and nearly killed by the same police officer, Larry Shields, back in April.

"Clearly, if this individual was unarmed, he doesn't pose a threat to use a weapon," he says. "it's actually very disturbing that a police officer who was involved in an incident less than eight months ago involving the shooting of a citizen, is involved in a similar-type incident once again."

In the April incident, investigators determined the shooting victim, Josh Taylor, did have a loaded weapon, unlike the latest incident.

Taylor was inside his Northeast Philadelphia row home, when officer shields, who was off-duty, ran inside after him

The lawyer in the first officer-involved shooting says the officer didn't need to put himself in that situation-, and he could have waited outside and called for back-up.

The DA's office cleared the officer just one month ago, and says it will not be re-opening that investigation, despite this latest incident.
