Family and friends of slain Temple University Officer Chris Fitzgerald overcome by their grief, came out to remember the father of four who did so much for others.
Temple University’s Vice President for Public Safety released a statement Sunday, regarding the shooting death of Officer Fitzgerald, reading, in part:
"Chris would do anything…anything," said Fitzgerald’s cousin, Juan Marrero. "He would go beyond for his community. He had the chance to leave Philadelphia, but he chose to stay here." Temple students made their way to pay respects at the memorial and say something has to change, because they say the violence is out of control.
"Temple University police do a great job, but obviously, there is a bigger issue here and I don’t know, I feel like we just need to get the community and the nation talking about it," student Stephanie Roccoberton said.
