Law enforcement sources tell FOX 29 that an 18-year-old suspect accused of gunning down a Temple University police officer was previously charged as a juvenile with making terroristic threats against a local high school.
According to a probable cause affidavit obtained by FOX 29, the suspect was seen in video surveillance firing a handgun at the officer after a foot pursuit and brief struggle.
The District Attorney’s office says Pfeffer searched the officer’s pockets and tried to take his gun, and then carjacked another person. The affidavit goes on to say that the suspect was later picked up by his mother at 29th Street and Ridge Avenue, and driven to their home in Bucks County where he was taken into custody Sunday morning. Pfeffer was identified by his brother, who the affidavit states was with Pfeffer when Officer Fitzgerald initially tried to stop him.
The threat caused the school to be evacuated, and the students were sent home early. A spokesperson for the Central Bucks School District said Pfeffer was a student in the district until Sept. 2019.
