Chris Fitzgerald was shot six times while responding to a crime Saturday night.

That makes three police officers murdered so far this year in Pennsylvania.

On the Big K Morning Show, Gary, a local cop, was asked by Larry and Marty if he's thought about walking away:

“Hell no, it’s a calling, not just a living,” said Gary.”

Asked if his family wants him to quit, he says, “Yeah . . . it’s hard to walk away from and unfortunately I don’t’ think we’re getting the best people anymore we should, so it’s going to get worse in the future.”

It only took 12 hours for police to arrest the suspect accused of killing Officer Fitzgerald.

18-year-old Miles Pfeffer was taken into custody Sunday morning at his home in Bucks County.
