I regret to pass along the information that a Philadelphia Police Officer has made the Ultimate Sacrifice. Officer Robert Wilson III died Thursday around 5pm, after being shot several times while attempting to stop a robbery. The two suspects, one of them wounded, are in custody.


Officer Wilson, 30, was an eight-year veteran and the father of two young children.


I will post more info as it come in.
