PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A police officer who confronted at least two suspected bank robbers was shot and killed Saturday, leading to a manhunt during which an officer fatally shot one suspect, authorities said.
Investigators released few details about the shootings as police searched a wooded area for another suspect involved in the robbery at a bank in a grocery store.
Sgt. Steven Liczbinski, 40, a 12-year veteran who had recently been promoted, was shot with an assault weapon not far from the bank.
The suspects fled but were later spotted by another officer, who shot and killed one, police said. Ramsey did not confirm how many people were involved in the robbery or how many were sought.
Police originally described a man and a woman in Muslim-type clothing and a man wearing a white hospital mask. The masked man had shoulder-length dreadlocks, but Officer Tanya Little said that could have been a wig.

So.... where are the calls to ban burkas on public safety grounds?
Ping.
Here’s one. I call for the Burka to be banned.
I also call for the Koran to be banned.
So were they Muslim, dressed that way normally or dressed up in costume?
>>The suspects fled but were later spotted by another officer, who shot and killed one, police said.
YES!!
Maybe we’ll have as much common sense as France and view burkas as a security threat.
Can't be true. Assault weapons are banned in Philly and Islam is the Religion of Peace. The validity of the whole article is in doubt.
I would bet on the latter.
Suspect charged in Philly cop's slaying; 2nd suspect sought
Prayers for Sgt. Stephen Liczbinski and his family.
