Prosecutors will not charge a 22-year-old man accused of fatally shooting a 46-year-old in East Germantown on Monday afternoon while both were canvassing for a political group. Authorities say the shooting was in self-defense.
Jane Roh, a spokesperson for District Attorney Larry Krasner, said Friday that both their office and the Police Department were in agreement about what happened between two paid canvassers for the progressive group One PA.
“This is nonetheless a tragic loss of life,” Roh said. “We extend our deepest condolences to the loved ones of the decedent.”
Meanwhile, family members of the victim, Eddie Brokenbough, were distraught to learn the father of 10 had been shot, and doubted police accounts of the shooting.
Reports spread that Brokenbough, who was shot once in the armpit and rushed from the 2000 block of Church Lane to a nearby hospital, had pulled a gun on the 22-year-old canvasser, causing the younger man to shoot in what he told police was self-defense.
Both men knew each other, police said, and the shooting stemmed from an “argument,” possibly over an existing dispute.
One PA has said guns are not permitted in its offices or during canvassing, and it has temporarily suspended its canvassing efforts.
The group is an independent expenditure committee that can raise and spend money to boost candidates but is prohibited from directly coordinating with them. This year, the group knocked on doors to promote mayoral candidate Helen Gym and a slate of left-leaning City Council candidates.

And the guy with 10, yes 10 kids is killed. Why can’t we restrain these ferals from sticking it anyone and everything? Guess it’s the animal mentality.
Shooting between two libs ... no charges filed.
Both were thugs.
Have to have some kids in reserve to make up for the ones that get dragged off by hyenas and lions.

Might explain a lot.
It’s Philadelphia. I’m more surprised BOTH weren’t strapped.
Ballot harvesting operations details are not going to see a discovery process in court records. Much like drug dealer turf wars, at $50 a ballot it’s ballot harvesting turf wars.
So now taxpayers will have to pay to house, feed and raise his 10 kids.
Oh! Wait....
He was a leftist thug and a random sperm donor so we were probably already paying their way.
Yep
One Dem shoots and kills another Dem - no charges filed.
Reminds me of Dem stronghold inner cities...and ZERO CALLS FOR GUN CONTROL ARISE FROM THIS GUN VIOLENCE - go figure...
If he is working for a progressive group, makes you wonder how many baby mammas were involved to produce 10 children. And how many abortions limited the result to 10.
Sounds like they belonged to the “Liberal Canvassers With Guns” organization.
Spay and neuter your liberals!
I would guess that they get paid for each new voter registered and each mail in ballot completed.
This was a “turf war” between the two over who could canvass that neighborhood.
When the Left thinks the Right has been routed, this is how they treat one another.
Shooter not identified? Not charged? Police and media collude on covering up and excusing Left on Left violence.
Maybe it was a fair shoot. We just have to take their word for it. We’ll never know.
