Suspect, 18, busted in fatal shooting of Temple cop tried to rob officer as he lay dying: police
New York Post ^ | February 19, 2023 | David Propper

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.”

I hope he never lives to trial. Put him in general pop in the Philly jail and he will not survive a week.

The killer is white, and the officer (God rest his soul) was black?
Think we will see rioting in the streets and buildings burn?
Not a chance.

I’m thinking the killer was Antifa, maybe?

Likely a Suburban Junkie Heroin addict visiting the “Badlands” of North Philadelphia. Buckingham PA is super affluent.

Josh Shapiro the Uber Liberal NEW Governor of PA just said he will not allow Death Penalty on his watch.

This killer will get justice. He will be raped thousands of times before he is 30.

Still a “teenager.” Cold, cruel, apparently sociopathic at least to some extent. He’d better not be let out by a bleeding heart judge.

2023 Law & Order SVU asked of Benson:
“Where’s that bleeding heart of yours?”
Benson: “All the blood drained out of it.”

“I’m thinking the killer was Antifa, maybe?”

Likely the case. Also likely his parents were so busy ‘climbing the corporate ladder’ that they didn’t bother to raise the brat.

But I suspect this killing did get the parents’ attention.

Look at him...clearly Pfeffer is a MAGA Nazi who was insprised to do this by the January 6th insurrection, just like Paul Pelosi’s right-wing MAGA attacker.

Just one more instance proving gun laws DO NOT WORK.

Sorry for this officer and his family, friends and co-workers.

What a tragic loss.

Whites commit crimes, and Whites are the ones who support
strong penalties.

Blacks commit crimes, and Blacks think of every excuse in
the book to get them off, and blame it on race.

Had a hick-up on my computer.

White people join in with the Blacks to try and get Blacks
off on crimes all the time also.

Meant to add that in, and had a glitch in the get along.

At the Twitter link, the list of charges also made public his address. I looked it up on Google Earth. It’s quite a spread.

BLM types have to be conflicted on this one. Actually no they won’t.
