UPDATE: Police have identified a Philly political canvasser who was shot and killed by another campaign worker following an argument, according to investigators. New details HERE:
I was devastated to hear about the tragic death of a canvasser today. My thoughts are with the family of the victim, the One PA community, and everyone impacted by this irrevocable loss. Though the canvasser was not part of our campaign, this loss is deeply felt by all of us.On Tuesday, One PA announced in a second statement that they were temporarily suspending their canvasses.
“What happened on Monday was a tragedy impacting a very loved member of the One PA team,” Sage Cruz, the co-executive director of One PA, wrote. “One PA is temporarily suspending our canvasses as we process this loss. It is clear policy that guns are never allowed in One PA offices or on canvases, and we are reviewing and reiterating that policy to ensure compliance. Right now we are taking care of our team as we process our grief, and respecting the wishes of the victim’s family.
One PA has not confirmed with NBC10 whether or not the other campaign worker involved in the incident is a member of their organization. There are additional resources for people or communities that have endured gun violence in Philadelphia.
