PHILADELPHIA - The parents of a young man who was shot and killed by Pennsylvania State Police on Interstate 95 during a chaotic car meet-up earlier this month opened up about the night they lost their son.

Police say 18-year-old Anthony Allegrini Jr. was on I-95 during a car meet-up where vehicles were doing doughnuts and burnouts in the middle of the highway in the early morning hours of June 4. "It's not what we would have advised him to do, we’ve always tried to instill in him right from wrong," Jennifer Allegrini, Anthony's mother, told FOX 29.

Officers responded to a stretch of highway rear Penn's Landing around 3:30 a.m. to disperse the gathering when they spotted Allegrini's Audi S4 parked in the shoulder of the highway.

When state troopers approached the vehicle, investigators claim Allegrini Jr. "failed to yield and struck two state troopers." RELATED COVERAGEThis caused one of the troopers to fire one shot through the front windshield, fatally striking Allegrini Jr, according to police.
