(Mt. Lebanon, Pa.) A 25-year-old man, who has not been identified, killed his parents before getting into a shootout with police in Mount Lebanon early Thursday morning. The unknown man called police shortly after midnight to a home on Gilkeson Road where police discovered that he had shot and killed both of his parents and was ready to surrender but then he began shooting at police.
An officer from Dormont was shot in the exchange and was taken the hospital for non-life-threatening injuries.

The man then took off in a car, leading police on a chase that ended in a crash in the area of Route 19 and McLaughlin Run Road in Upper Saint Clair. Officers then found the man dead in his car, which had flipped.

While the man did have a gun shot wound authorities have not determined the man’s exact cause of death.

A Mount Lebanon officer was also hurt, but was not hit by gunfire. That officer was treated at a hospital and released.
