Wife Of Fallen Philadelphia Officer Gives Birth
PHILADELPHIA (CBS 3) ―
The wife of a Philadelphia Police officer killed in the line of duty earlier this year has given birth to a baby boy.
Kim Pawlowski named the 6 pound, 11 ounce baby boy John Palowski Jr. in memory of her husband who was shot and killed by a robbery suspect on February 13.
Officer John Pawlowski was responding to the alleged robbery of a taxi near Broad Street and Olney when a suspect, Rasheed Scruggs, opened fire.
The 25-year-old officer was struck several times before his partner returned fire, wounding the suspect.
Pawlowski's wife was four months pregnant at the time of tragic incident.
Scruggs was moved from the hospital to an area prison where he is awaiting trial on first degree murder and related offenses.
