Temple University police officer fatally shot in head while trying to intervene in carjacking​

The wounded officer, who has not yet been publicly identified, was taken to Temple University Hospital where he was pronounced dead, police said.
Dozens of police officers and community members gathered outside the hospital grieving for the loss of one of their own. Officials said this was the first Temple police officer to be killed in the line of duty.
The shooting happened as the officer was trying to intervene in a carjacking, officials said. Action News has learned police have located the car involved in the carjacking.

"Out of respect for the officer's friends and family, we will not be releasing his identity at this time. There are simply no words that can make sense of such a tragedy. It tears at our sense of community, and wounds us to our very soul. Temple has lost an officer and hero to senseless violence. Our thoughts are with the victim's family, friends and the entire Temple community during this tremendously difficult time," a statement from Temple University said.
During a news conference Saturday night outside the hospital, Commissioner Danielle Outlaw said the investigation is ongoing.

I don’t understand how a human being can kill someone over a car. Was that car really life or death?

The answer depends on if the shooter is under the age of 18.
