A Philadelphia parking authority officer was shot in the head in broad daylight by a thug in the City of Brotherly Love last Friday.

The suspect was caught on a surveillance camera walking up behind the 37-year-old male parking official and shooting him in the head at point-blank range at around 4pm the day after Thanksgiving.

The officer, who was on duty at the time of the crime, is seen in video footage immediately collapsing onto the sidewalk before help arrives.

He is now in stable condition and the PPA is hopeful he will make a full recovery, having primarily been injured in his shoulder and ear.

Police are still investigating the incident and have not yet made any arrests, but believe the victim was a 'target'. ...

OMG!     Is there any wonder why the number of people who carry for self protection has increased so drastically? Obviously the officer didn't even see him coming.

I consider where I live to be relatively safe, but I can honestly say I have been lax in being aware of my surroundings at all times.  I really need to get back into that habit.
