Woman Admits To Fatally Shooting Husband At Bristol Wharf

BRISTOL, PA — A Lower Bucks County woman has pleaded guilty to killing her husband after they argued at the Bristol Wharf in May 2023, authorities said.

Sammar Khan, 42, of Levittown, pleaded guilty to third-degree murder on Wednesday in the May 2023 shooting death of her husband Faisal Iqbal at the Bristol Borough Wharf, the Bucks County District Attorney's Office said.

Khan appeared before Common Pleas Judge Jeffrey L. Finley to enter the open guilty plea to the murder and also to possession of an instrument of crime, and recklessly endangering another person.

She will be sentenced on Sept. 30.

At 10:53 a.m. on May 30, 2023, Bristol Borough Police responded to the Bristol Borough Wharf, 1 Mill Street, for a report of a shooting.

Police officers found Khan at the scene with blood on her clothing and 38-year-old Iqbal dead in a grassy area with visible gunshot injuries. A gun was found nearby.

Witnesses told detectives from the Bucks County District Attorney’s Office and the Bristol Borough Police Department that Khan and Iqbal had been talking near the coastline.

Witnesses reported hearing Khan speaking loudly in another language, followed by a "pop" sound.

Iqbal, who had been seated, stood up and began wrestling with Khan as additional gunshots were heard. The two then walked toward the parking lot, where Iqbal reportedly told a witness to call 911.

Witnesses observed Khan shoot Iqbal two more times, causing him to collapse. As Iqbal lay on the ground, Khan allegedly walked over to him and shot him twice more in the torso and once in the head, authorities said.
