Fox News
A 31-year-old Philadelphia police officer was shot during a traffic stop Saturday, and city officials say the husband and father is on life support.
"As your mayor, it is not lost on me that on today a husband, a father and the son met his partner and went to work to do a job that he's been doing for about six and a half years," Parker said. "He didn't expect that he would be in a fight for his life right now."
Philadelphia Police Commissioner Kevin Bethel said the officer and his partner had conducted a traffic stop around 8 p.m. in the Kensington neighborhood. The vehicle had four people inside, and the officers saw a holster while inspecting the car.
