MONONGAHELA, Pa. (AP) — State police say an armed man shot and killed by a western Pennsylvania police officer over the weekend had fired at a home where a gathering was taking place. A state police spokesperson told the (Washington) Observer-Reporter that 29-year-old Cody Bennett had been kicked out of the Monongahela gathering and returned with a gun, firing into the air and toward the house. Monongahela police were called shortly after 9 p.m. Sunday and state police said Bennett fired at and hit a police cruiser, and he was later shot by a city police officer. He was pronounced dead about an hour later at a hospital. State police are investigating.
