An 18-year-old man has been arrested and charged in the death of a Temple University police officer shot and killed near campus Saturday night, officials said.
The Philadelphia District Attorney's office said Sunday the suspect, Miles Pfeffer, was arrested shortly after 7 a.m. Sunday at his Buckingham Township home by township and Philadelphia police, as well as state police and federal marshals. "Police used the fallen officer's handcuffs in placing the suspect under arrest," county prosecutors said.
Officer Christopher Fitzgerald was shot and killed in Philadelphia Saturday while responding to a robbery, the university said.
An American Airlines jet with 60 passengers and four crew members aboard collided with an Army helicopter Wednesday night while coming in for a landing at Ronald Reagan National Airport near Washington. The Black Hawk helicopter was carrying a crew of three. Officials said early Thursday that everyone on board both aircraft is believed dead, which would make it the deadliest U.S. air crash in nearly a quarter century.
