PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pittsburgh officials say five police officers will be fired following an internal investigation into the death of man who police shocked with a stun gun multiple times. Fifty-four-year-old Jim Rogers died a day after police used a stun gun on him in connection with an alleged bicycle theft in October. Pittsburgh’s Public Safety Director Lee Schmidt did not release the names of the officers or details of the investigation. That’s per the police department’s collective bargaining agreement which affords each officer the opportunity to use arbitration to challenge the discipline imposed. Schmidt said three more officers will keep their jobs.
