The trial is underway and is expected to last until Friday as former Center Township police officer John Hawk will make his defense. Hawk is charged with involuntary manslaughter. Kenneth Vinyard was killed in a shooting outside the Monaca Walmart and took a bullet to save another man. Hawk allegedly sweeped the leg of Vinyard and hit him to the ground. Vinyard died that same day.
