Officer Farrell was shot and killed while chasing down a thief who had beaten and robbed a 72-year-old woman of her purse. The thief was a career criminal out of prison on a weekend pass. When the day started, there were four Farrells on the Philadelphia police force—Gary, his two brothers, Michael and William, and his wife, Stephanie—there were only three when it ended.
