Did Kenny Chesney Mistakenly Say Shot Folcroft Cop Passed Away?

Did country music star Kenny Chesney accidentally pronounce wounded Folcroft police Officer Chris Dorman dead while performing Saturday night in Philadelphia?

Well, that's awkward.

The mistaken shoutout by Chesney came after a day of pleading for the musician to give a hello to Dorman, who was shot seven times during an alleged drug bust in his Delaware County borough Friday morning.

Even Dorman appeared in a short video posted to Twitter to tell Chesney, "Don't forget me."

Chesney performed Saturday night at Lincoln Financial Field in South Philadelphia.

Dorman, according to reports, was supposed to attend the concert Saturday. He remains at Penn Presbyterian Hospital recovering from surgery. He was shot in the face, neck and arm. A bulletproof vest prevented four othe bullets from striking him in the chest, police said.

Some of his fellow Folcroft police officers apparently went to the Chesney concert, thanks to Philadelphia electricians' union IBEW Local 98. The department thanked the union, which is headed by power labor leader John Dougherty, in a tweet.
