2 separate fatal shootings in Montco deemed self-defense, DA says

EAGLEVILLE, Pa. (KYW Newsradio) — The Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office has ruled that two separate fatal shootings from last month are justified as self-defense.

Robert Pollack, 55, was shot and killed in Collegeville on Feb. 16, after he kicked in a door of a home on East Third Avenue and pointed his gun at two people in the house.

Twelve days later, 28-year-old Alan Womack was shot and killed in the parking lot of an LA Fitness in King of Prussia. 

The District Attorney’s Office said Womack started an argument with someone he didn’t know during a pick-up basketball game inside the gym, then waited for that man outside. Investigators say when Womack pulled a gun in the parking lot and racked a round into the chamber, the other man pulled a gun from his backpack and shot Womack in the chest.

All guns involved were legally owned and carried.

The shooters are not being identified as no charges have been filed.
