PITTSBURGH (AP) — Authorities say a man was shot and killed during an exchange of gunfire with police in a Pittsburgh suburb over the weekend. Allegheny County police say officers in Forest Hills were dispatched shortly before 10:30 a.m. Sunday to investigate a report of a man yelling at people and lifting his shirt to display a firearm. Officers say they found the man and tried to talk to him but he fired at them and they returned fire, hitting him multiple times. He was pronounced dead at a hospital; his name wasn’t immediately released. Conty police say they were asked by local police to investigate.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — An independent review panel has opened an investigation into the lack of a police presence despite a request for it at a Pittsburgh funeral where a shooting left six people injured last month. Two shooters opened fire outside the Destiny of Faith Church on Oct. 28 during a funeral for a man slain two weeks earlier. Elizabeth Pittinger, executive director of the Citizens Police Review Board, said officers should have been there because police knew about intergroup tensions that could pose a risk. She asked whether supervision, communication or insubordination problems were to blame for that and similar incidents and said that’s why the review board opened its inquiry.

WEST MIFFLIN, Pa. (AP) — A judge has dismissed all charges against a teenager wounded in a shooting at a western Pennsylvania amusement park that also sent another teen and an adult to the hospital. An Allegheny County district court judge dismissed aggravated assault, reckless endangering and firearms charges against the 15-year-old defendant in the Sept. 24 gunfire at Kennywood Park on the opening night of the park’s Phantom Fall Fest. Defense attorney Kenneth Haber called the case presented by prosecutors “smoke and mirrors.” A 39-year-old man and a 15-year-old were taken to hospitals with leg wounds and the youth eventually arrested had a graze wound.

(Beaver County, Pa.) Pa State Police in Beaver are reporting that they received a report last Tuesday November 8, 2022 at 7:30 PM from 32-year-old Sharon Graves of East Palestine, Ohio that she was involved in a hit and run accident on I-376 between the Monaca and Center Exits.
Graves was driving a 2017 Subaru eastbound when she says that a newer Jeep Grand Cherokee side swiped her vehicle and continued driving at a high rate of speed towards Pittsburgh. The Jeep was described as having dark tint and was a dark grey or blue color. Troopers say the vehicle should have damage to the driver side near the front wheel or bumper. The vehicle is believed to have a Pennsylvania license plate.

This undated selfie provided by her family shows Leslie Gingrich, who died in a motorcycle crash on Route 895 near Auburn, Pa, in Schuylkill County, on June 4, 2022. Pennsylvania’s transportation agency dug a ditch and didn’t tell anyone, and it cost a motorcyclist her life, the victim’s family says in a new civil lawsuit. Gingrich, a mother of three who was training to get her commercial driver’s license, was riding her Harley to class along a narrow, twisty state highway when she hit a ditch that had been left by a PennDOT crew weeks earlier. She had no warning and no chance to avoid it, her family says. (Leslie Gingrich via AP)

The family of a woman who died in a motorcycle crash is suing the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, saying the agency’s negligence caused the fatal wreck. Leslie Gingrich was riding her Harley in Schuylkill County on June 4 when she hit a ditch spanning both lanes of a narrow, twisty road. A wrongful death lawsuit says PennDOT created the hazardous condition while working on the road, then failed to place signage warning approaching motorists of the danger. The woman’s family says residents complained to PennDOT but their complaints about the road were ignored. The family is seeking unspecified money damages.
