Family members of a slain Temple University police officer are suing the teen accused of killing him as well as the suspect’s family.
Pfeffer then fled the scene and carjacked a man along the 1800 block of North 18th Street, investigators said.
Petruska then drove her son back to their home in Buckingham Township, Bucks County, investigators said. On February 19, police descended on the home and used Sergeant Fitzgerald’s handcuffs to arrest Pfeffer, according to investigators. “Defendant Jill Petruska and Defendant George Shaw housed, clothed and fed Defendant Miles Pfeffer at their luxury home in Buckingham Township,” the lawsuit said. “It was here that Defendant Miles Pfeffer had a safe haven and ready access to multiple firearms.
“Despite the repeated signs, including multiple juvenile offenses, multiple school infractions, a bomb scare, and threats to bring weapons to school, Defendants Petruska, Shaw, and Mark Pfeffer failed to take the necessary steps to avoid catastrophe,” the lawsuit says. “At all relevant times, Defendants Petruska, Shaw, and Mark Pfeffer knew that Defendant Miles Pfeffer had access to the firearms and ammunition in question and took insufficient steps to ensure that those instrumentalities did not come into the possession of the mentally ill and highly troubled Defendant Miles Pfeffer,” the lawsuit says.
