PHILADELPHIA - Slain Temple University police officer Chris Fitzgerald was supposed to pick up his 7-year-old son the night he was shot and killed, the child's mother told FOX 29's Shawnette Wilson.
Officer Fitzgerald, 31, was fatally shot during a struggle with a suspect Saturday night on the 1700 block of Montgomery Avenue.
Less than 24-hours later, authorities tracked down Officer Fitzgerald's alleged killed, 18-year-old Miles Pfeffer, at his mother's house in Buckingham Township.
Officer Fitzgerald leaves behind a wife and five children, including his 7-year-old namesake Christopher. Jessica Ocasio, the child's mother, said Fitzgerald was supposed to pickup Christopher on Saturdays for his usual weekend stay with his father. "He was ready for his dad to come pick him up on Saturday, he goes with him on the weekends," Jessica said.
