Bristol Borough Police responded to the Bristol Borough Wharf on Mill Street in Bristol, Pennsylvania, at 10:53 a.m. for a report of a shooting. Officers arrived at the park, which was occupied by multiple people at the time, and found 40-year-old Sammar Khan of Levittown with blood on her clothing, investigators said.

Police then found Khan’s husband, 38-year-old Faisal Iqbal, in a grassy area near the parking lot suffering from gunshot wounds. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Witnesses told investigators Khan and Iqbal had been speaking to each other loudly in another language in the area of the coastline shortly before the shooting. They then said they heard a “pop” sound. Witnesses said they then saw Iqbal, who had been sitting down, stand up and wrestle Khan as more gunshots were heard.

I am across the River and South a bit but I never heard of this case until I saw this article just now. I came here hoping to find more info/opinions. I don’t want to victim-blame because I really know nothing about this case, but I have to wonder if she set him up, over-reacted or was truly in fear and defending herself. And the fear could be real at that moment or it may have been triggered by something from a previous experience. I just hope she isn’t innocent and was truly in fear and/or defending herself and felt that pleading guilty was the quickest way home to her children.
