1. On Sunday night, a man who was allegedly impersonating a police officer was shot and killed by a Philadelphia resident after breaking into their home. According to investigators, the home invasion happened at the 7200 block of Battersby Street in Mayfair when two men dressed as police officers forced their way into the victim's home. The resident pulled out his own gun and shot and killed one of the robbers, while the other fled. (NBC 10 Philadelphia)
