WE GOT HIM!!!

Not 100% confirmed, but it looks like this is the cop-killing scumbag:

(CBS 3) PHILADELPHIA Police made an arrest Thursday afternoon in connection to the murder of Philadelphia Police Officer Gary Skerski.

The suspect, 23-year-old Solomon Montgomery, believed to be Officer Skerski’s killer, was taken into custody after a shootout with police in the 5700 block of N. 19th Street, near Chew Street in the Olney.

Sources tell CBS 3 Montgomery was wanted in California and it was that warrant police were serving when the shootout went down.

The suspect was shot twice during the confrontation and taken to Einstein Medical Center.

“We did develop information about a suspect today (Thursday), our homicide detectives were searching for the suspect and that suspect we were searching for that person is in our custody at the hospital,” said Capt. Naish.

No police were injured during the shootout.

46-year-old Officer Skerski was gunned down last Monday night while responding to a robbery Pat’s Cafe in the Frankford section of the city. Skerski, a 16-year-veteran of the 15th District, encountered the shotgun wielding suspect and was shot in the neck.

Skerski was taken Temple where he died hours later. The Community Relations Officer left behind a wife and two children.

I hope you fry in hell, you son of a bitch. They caught him in MY DIVISION!!! And I had to be off today. Damnit.

  2. Unfortunately, he was caught alive. Now we have to go through another trial and another 20 years of appeals. At least he didn't hurt anyone else.

  5. God intervenes.

    If Wyatt were working the report would have said something to the effect

    "...although the suspect was shot twice, neither were life threatening. However, the suspect died enroute to the hospital due to unconfirmed cleaver wounds."

    Get this guy outta that hospital. my Father-In-Law is going in there in two weeks.

    Note to Philadelphia's Finest:
    A Job Well Done!!

    Very glad none of the good guys were injured in the shoot-out!

  7. I can't even imagine what the adrenaline is like in a situation and capture like this.

    Yeah!!!!!! I am so happy this jackarse was caught. There isn't enough justice for a thug coward, let alone a thug coward who shoots and kills an officer.

  9. The report should have been two sentences long: "Subject produced a weapon. Subject died instantly."

    Props to Philly PD.

  10. Rockview's just down the road a couple of miles. I'm sure they can find room for him there.

    (Though I admit I still find sll those "entering prison property, no stopping" signs on the road to be just a tad unsettling.)
