An 18-year-old man was busted Sunday in the fatal shooting of a Temple University cop — as it surfaced the heinous killer tried to rob the tragic officer as he lay dying on the ground, police said.
Gunman Miles Pfeffer — who was taken into custody by authorities using the fallen officer’s handcuffs — went on to coolly commit a nearby carjacking in Philadelphia after the shooting, too, authorities said.
Pfeffer was arrested after multiple agencies, including federal marshals, converged on his home in Buckingham Township in Bucks County around 7 a.m., the Bucks County District Attorney’s Office said.
He had been wanted for the cold-blooded slaying of college cop and married dad of four Christopher Fitzgerald, the 31-year-old son of a former Philadelphia police officer who also previously served as the police chief of four US cities.
Fitzgerald was shot in the head around 7 p.m. Saturday while responding to an incident near Temple’s campus, according to the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office.
He was later pronounced dead at the hospital, becoming the first Temple officer to die in the line of duty, the school said.
Pfeffer is facing charges of murder, murder of a law-enforcement officer, robbery, carjacking and illegal weapons possession in the case, the DA’s office said.
The suspect was so heartless that he tried to rob Fitzgerald as the cop laid on the ground after the shooting, DA Larry Krasner said in a statement.
“Pfeffer is also alleged to have attempted to rob Officer Fitzgerald of his gun and to have gone through his pockets, while the officer was laying on the ground and fatally wounded,” Krasner said Sunday.
“Pfeffer is further alleged to have committed a carjacking a short time after, close to the location of the officer’s murder.”

And his mother picked up him and his brother.
Sounds like that whole family is a real piece of work.
Does have the stench of Antifa about it, doesn’t it? Waiting breathlessly for the Daily Mail’s rundown on his family. You know they will, and there’ll be no place short of the Venezuelan outback where the parents can hide.
Death penalty, absolutely.
By the time he gets his date with the needle (20+ years from now) perhaps the state will have a conservative governor who will gladly sign the death warrant. Shapiro will be long gone by then.
I hope his parents get bankrupted paying for his defense.
I almost hope he pleads not guilty. I wanna see this scumbag on Court TV.
Not that it changes a tragic death of an officer lawfully enforcing order, but I would say that he was Latino. not Black.
I will gather the State Penitentiary is quite a spread as well.
I’d only need a couple of seconds. I hope he dies a miserable death.
Yeah, I noticed that.
Fry the puke
The rich white boy looks like a “white supremacist.” Officer
Fitzgerald’s friends should throw a Sheriff’ Necktie Party for him to welcome him to the system.
Scumbag Shapiro has said he won’t sign a death warrant.
How does a rich, white, boy, look like a white supremacist? Blacks kill white officers everyday, and no one says their killers should be lynched. He deserves a trial just like they do, and he’s not going to get any social justice advocates pleading his case.
A video of the officer earlier that day is posted here, along with comments by friends and family:
Yes, everyone deserves a trial.
But, what this 18yo did was caught on surveillance video.
If reports are accurate, the police have arrested the right guy.

That’s fine. Hang him for his crime after a trial, but not because he “looks like a white supremacist” and is rich and white. I haven’t heard it was a racial motive. Whites kill white officers, often. Hispanics kill white or hispanic officers, but this one was a top story, because the officer was black, and the killer is white.
Look at those dead eyes. There is no soul behind them. This is a psycho.
This is a local story. It hasn’t been getting much attention here, so I started this thread.
This officer was murdered by a coldblooded killer. I don’t care about the killer.
Illegal entry across our borders
Rewarding theft
No cash bail
Defunding police
America elects people who support and promote these policies.
Once again, I never disputed that he killed the officer and that he’s a cold-blooded killer, but the racial motive you put behind it, (like when we need more trouble, when you see the ant—white articles here for discussion, everyday) when whites kill white cops all the time. There were two hispanic cops shot. It was in the daily mail last week. The cop killer was hispanic, and it was a small article in the middle of the page. One was dead and one in critical condition. That didn’t get much attention, either, probably locally or nationally.
Suspect will have a very hard time in jail, he’ll be passed around like a ragdoll.
