The deadly shooting of a Temple University police officer has once again called into question the safety of the school's besieged North Philadelphia campus.
The deadly shooting of Officer Fitzgerald, a husband and father of four, sent shockwaves through a campus and community that's become all too familiar with gun violence. FOX 29's Chris O'Connell caught up with 22nd District Captain Michael Goodman, his district oversees patrols on and off Temple's campus.
Goodman, a Temple graduate himself, says the Philadelphia Police Department works hand-in-hand with Temple University Police and often times overlap patrol areas to help keep students and residents of the area safe.
