Police union officials in Pennsylvania say a suspect has been arrested in the death of a Temple University police officer shot near campus in Philadelphia while trying to apprehend a robbery suspect. The Temple University Police Association confirmed Sunday in a Twitter post that 'a suspect has been taken into custody for the murder of one of our police officers.' The Philadelphia Inquirer reports that Philadelphia Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw said the officer “tried to intervene in a carjacking.” University president Jason Wingard called the shooting ‘a gut-wrenching reminder’ of the bravery and sacrifices officers make as the city and nation deal with ‘an unprecedented epidemic of violence.’
