Not a great year for Pittsburgh-area police, sadly.

I don't think the death penalty would make much difference in this case, since the shooter may have already killed himself.

There was a suspect named late last night but apparently this person has turned himself in to Clairton Police and he has been cleared as a suspect.

The guy that they mentioned wasn't the person they where looking for.

rules and laws are just as they are stated...yet, everyone today believes they are beyond the law...we are fastly becoming a corrupt society...
people disobey the speeding laws...they drive while talking on the telephone....people are becoming less compassionate and courteous....it's all about #1...

I believe strongly that no one is beyond the law....no one is held accountable any longer...everyone wants something for nothing, and above all...our police officers are NOT paid enough. They're jobs are thankless jobs...and criminals are not held accountable and are constantly being set free again and again....

and not only do I believe in tough laws, but also, prisons shouldn't be a place where a criminal is sent to have such luxuries, like the right to get a college degree, on the tax payers money, work out rooms, libraries...prisons should be a place to go to repent....and if you take a life, then I believe in the death sentence. Used to be 30 years ago, you killed an officer of the law, you definately got the death penalty....today, people do not even respect law officers....

It's a shame...

It's so sad and so awful to hear these things going on in our neighborhoods. I can only think of the bravery it takes to get up and go to a job everyday where you are helping people, not knowing if it's your last day on earth.

I will be praying for his family.
