Spring Garden bar shooting (Pittsburgh, Spring Hill: 2014, how much, neighborhood)

[I_Like_Spam]

What could these young'uns be thinking? Why would walking into a bar with a gun be considered a good idea? Bar patrons tend to be loaded and many may be armed, and how much money could someone expect to take? Now, someone is dead, there is a reward out and the perp faces the possibility of the electric chair.

The Trib got the neighborhood wrong here in the story.

They said he was shot in the chest, and its his family (not him) that is offering the reward? That's the conclusion I reached.

He survived.


"Anyone with information or a video of the gunman is asked to call robbery detectives at 412-323-7151"


"
The family of a 21-year-old Glenshaw man shot while attempting to thwart a Spring Garden bar robbery last week is offering a reward to anyone who helps police solve the crime, Pittsburgh police said today.
The family of the victim, whose name has not been released, is offering up to $1,500 "to anyone who can assist detectives in learning the identity, the whereabouts and information leading to a conviction of the actor responsible for the shooting," police spokeswoman Diane Richard said in a news release."

Am I the only person wondering what someone who lives in Glenshaw was doing sitting in a Spring Garden bar? If it is the Shaler part of Glenshaw, I guess he could have been hanging with old school buddies who lived in Reserve.

We live in the East End and eat at the Long John Silver's in Shaler roughly thrice per year. People do cross rivers nowadays, n'at, yinz dig it?

Maybe he was visiting his GF.
Maybe he just got off work.
Maybe he was in the area to buy Heroin to take back to Glenshaw.

You don't have to cross a river to get from Glenshaw to Spring Garden.

Bingo! That's more along the lines of what I was thinking.
