(Allegheny County, PA) The Allegheny County Police were called to investigate a deadly police shooting just outside of the City of Pittsburgh. According to county police, around 12 a.m. yesterday, 911 received a call from a man who claimed to be armed and was threatening to harm himself and others. They learned that the man was in the 1700 block of Washington Street in Heidelberg and he was wielding a knife. Once local police from Heidelberg and Scott Township arrived on the scene, officers ordered the man to drop the knife, but he refused and proceeded to charge toward the officers. One officer from the Heidelberg police deployed a taser but the man refused to stop. That was when a Scott Township officer shot the man multiple times. The man was taken to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The Allegheny County Police Department’s Homicide Unit is investigating this incident.

(Pittsburgh, PA) Surviving members of the legendary Freedom House Ambulance Service were part of the audience who listened to U.S. Representative Summer Lee announce on Friday that she is co-sponsoring a bill to honor their history and legacy. If the bill passes in Congress, with the endorsement from President Donald Trump, Freedom House Ambulance Service will be awarded the Congressional Gold Medal, which is one of the most esteemed civilian honors. Freedom House started back in 1967 as the first ambulance service anywhere to provide advanced medical care to patients while in transport to hospitals, and it was an all-Black unit that responded to calls in the Hill District of Pittsburgh’s Black community.
