On duty and off duty, Temple Police Officer Christopher Fitzgerald was all about trying to make his city a better place, a safer place.
As part of a running group designed to encourage young people to pursue a more positive life path, Fitzgerald would carry the Stop the Violence banner.
“Chris would say, ‘If we can get one person to put the gun down, one person to think twice before pulling the trigger,” Eric Finger, a vice captain of Black Men Run, recalled one day after, police say, an 18-year-old Bucks County man shot Fitzgerald to death while the officer was on duty.
