A Hummelstown police officer has been charged with criminal homicide in the shooting of a man in South Hanover Township, according to online court records.

David A. Kassick, 59, suffered a fatal gunshot wound after multiple shots were fired in what police called an "altercation" on Feb. 2.

Lisa Mearkle, a 14-year veteran officer of the Hummeltown police department, has been charged in connection with the man's death.

Police said Mearkle, 36, pursued Kassick to a home in the first block of Grandview Road in the township after he failed to pull over during a traffic stop in Hummelstown, police said.

Kassick was shot with more than one bullet, but Dauphin County Coroner Graham Hetrick did not say how many bullets struck the man.

Mearkle was placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation and returned to administrative duty after three weeks.

The Dauphin County District Attorney's Office and state police are scheduled to address the results of the investigation into the shooting at 11 a.m. Tuesday at the Dauphin County Courthouse.

Dale Kassick, David's younger brother, said the family is still saddened by the loss, but is happy something is being done in connection with the case through the criminal charges being brought against Mearkle.

"Nothing is going to bring my brother back. He should have never lost his life over a traffic stop," he said.

Kassick said his family is thankful for the support they have received from people in the community and their help in keeping the issue relevant. He added that he hopes justice is served.

"It's not being swept under the rug, it's not being forgotten about," Dale said.
