We came together to mourn and honor the life of fallen Temple University Police Sergeant Christopher David Fitzgerald, who lost his life in an act of courage while serving the community he loved.

Hundreds of students, faculty, staff and members of the Temple community gathered with the Fitzgerald family, the Temple University Police Department, Philadelphia Police Department and President Wingard to pay respects.
