(Shaler Township, PA) An unidentified sixteen-year-old male student from Shaler Area High School got taken into custody without incident yesterday in Allegheny County because police confirm his mother found a gun that was stolen in his room in their Anderson Road home. A huge search began for this teenage male suspect yesterday morning on the 1400 block of Anderson Road in Pittsburgh. This search involved drones, three police dogs and multiple agencies, which include these agencies being involved: the FBI, the Allegheny County police, the Pennsylvania State Police and the Allegheny County Sheriff’s Office. No immediate threat to Shaler Area High School or the public was confirmed by Shaler police. Police note that the mother of the male juvenile suspect discovered a handgun yesterday morning in his bed when she woke him up and when she took the gun, her son threatened her to give it back to him. The male juvenile suspect then escaped the Anderson Road home after his mother refused to give the gun back to him. Police state that the male juvenile suspect ran with his backpack into the woods and his backpack was later found there with no weapons found inside of it. Another jurisdiction was where the gun that the male juvenile suspect had belonged to and it was found to be stolen and police affirm that the serial number of the gun was scratched off by someone. The search ended yesterday afternoon just before 4 p.m., when the male juvenile suspect was found at a home on Soose Road in Pittsburgh, which is the place that detectives found out that he hangs out frequently, and he is now in custody to be charged as a juvenile with at least two weapons charges against him.
