Bucks Co. Woman Called Boyfriend After Shooting Husband: Court Records

LEVITTOWN, PA —After fatally shooting her husband at Bristol Wharf last Tuesday, Sammar Khan called her boyfriend, police said.

Khan, of Levittown, faces charges of criminal homicide, possession of an instrument of crime, and recklessly endangering another person in the shooting of her husband, 38-year-old Faisal Iqbal, last Tuesday morning in front of onlookers.

According to her affidavit, multiple witnesses were in the immediate area of the shooting at the public park, stating that Khan fired multiple shots at or into her husband, the final one directed at his head.

After the shooting, Khan told Bristol Borough Police that the couple was at the park to discuss their relationship. Khan told police, court records say, that the conversation did not go well and that she killed Iqbal.

During the conversation, Khan was speaking loudly in another language. Shortly after, a pop sound was heard, court records state.

Iqbal, who had been seated, stood up and began wrestling with Khan and additional gunshots were heard, witnesses observed.

The two then began to walk from the coastline toward the parking lot area, where Iqbal told at least one witness to call 911.

As Iqbal lay on the ground defenseless, Khan walked over to him and shot him twice in the torso and once in the head, witnesses told detectives.

Authorities found Iqbal dead in the park and a Smith & Wesson M&P Shield 9mm firearm with blood on the slide.

Following the shooting, police interviewed a man —whose identity was known to law enforcement —who said he was Khan's boyfriend.

The man told police, according to the affidavit, that he had been dating Khan for more than a year and that he received a phone call from her that morning.

During the call, Khan told the unidentified man that she had killed her husband and needed the man to pick up her son from the wharf.

The man, according to the affidavit, told police that he knew Khan had been in a prior relationship with Iqbal but that it had become "tumultuous."
