PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania (AP) -- A police officer shot in the head during a robbery in a doughnut shop died Thursday morning, the police commissioner said, and his killer remained at large. He was the third city officer shot in the span of four days.
Charles Cassidy, 54, was shot in the forehead Wednesday at a Dunkin' Donuts when a hooded robber spun from the counter and fired at him as he walked in the door, according to an employee.
The 25-year police veteran died at 9:40 a.m. Thursday at Albert Einstein Medical Center, Commissioner Sylvester Johnson said.
"This is a sad day for the city of Philadelphia," Johnson said.
The gunman went into the shop and demanded money just before Cassidy opened the door, according to witnesses. Watch robber wave gun as police car pulls up »
Police released portions of a chilling videotape that shows the hooded robber pushing aside two customers and waving a gun as he approaches the counter.
It also shows him grabbing Cassidy's pistol as he fled.
The suspect hadn't been found Thursday. Johnson said video showed the gunman running through the shop's parking lot with a distinctive gait, almost as if he had a limp.
"We still have an armed and dangerous man out there in the streets of Philadelphia," Johnson said.

It makes you wonder if these guys actually put any forethought into planning these things.
, doughnuts do kill.
