Date of Incident: Saturday, May 3, 2008
Weapon Used: Rifle; SKS
Suspect Info: Shot and killed
Sergeant Stephen Liczbinski was shot and
killed while responding to a bank robbery call at approximately 11:30 am.
Three men dressed in female Muslim garb had robbed a Bank of America on
Aramingo Avenue. Sergeant Liczbinski encountered the suspects on East
Schiller Street and stopped their car. As he exited his patrol car, a
suspect opened fire with an SKS rifle, striking him several times.
Several citizens who witnessed the incident rushed to assist the officer,
wrapping his wounds in an effort to stop the bleeding. Sergeant Liczbinski
told them tell my wife and kids I love them before he fell into
unconsciousness. Another officer and a citizen carried him into a patrol
car and he was transported to a local hospital, where he died from his
wounds.
The suspects continued their escape, but crashed their vehicle. The
suspects then stole another vehicle and fled again. When the vehicle was
stopped, one suspect was shot and killed by K-9 officers and two suspects
eluded capture. Both suspects who fled were eventually apprehended and
charged with murder.
Sergeant Liczbinski had served with the Philadelphia Police Department for
12 years. He is survived by his wife and three children.
Six months later, on November 17, 2008, Sergeant Liczbinski's former
patrol partner, Sergeant Timothy Simpson, was killed when his patrol car
was struck by a vehicle being operated by an intoxicated driver. |
