PHILADELPHIA — The 20-year-old son of a high-ranking Philadelphia police commander was fatally shot on Saturday, one day after celebrating his birthday.
Nicholas Flacco was with a group gathered in FDR Park after tailgating at a Phillies game when several fights between females broke out, according to Captain Jason Smith of the Philadelphia Police Department. An unidentified woman was heard threatening to “call her man and that they should be afraid,” according to authorities.
A gunman later arrived and fired into the air and to the side, cops say. The man left, but returned 10 or 15 minutes later and shot Flacco, the son of an Internal Affairs commander.
