Police officer serving warrant is killed; fugitive arrested
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Authorities say a Philadelphia police officer was shot and killed as he served a homicide warrant at a home. Cpl. James O’Connor was shot around 5:45 a.m. Friday. Officials say he was shot in the shoulder above his bulletproof vest when officers entered the home. Two people in the home were shot and wounded by police, but they are expected to survive. The 46-year-old O’Connor came from a proud police family and had a son on the force. Several people were arrested, including 21-year-old fugitive suspect Hassan Elliott. Lawyers who had previously represented Elliott declined to comment.
