FOREST HILLS (KDKA) — Hundreds of protesters blocked traffic on the Parkway East, creating a major traffic jam late Thursday night into early Friday morning, as they held another rally in response to the police-involved shooting of 17-year-old Antwon Rose Jr. by East Pittsburgh police officer Michael Rosfeld.
The protesters marched from the East Pittsburgh Police Station, down Route 30 in Forest Hills to the Parkway East where they blocked traffic in both directions, backing up traffic for miles for hours.
Around 1 a.m. Friday, police told the protesters still on the scene to leave or be arrested. Around 1:30 a.m., officers began arriving in riot gear to try to break up the lengthy protest. Just after 2 a.m., officers began moving in on the few protesters that were left, some on the street, others who had moved off behind a guardrail. At least one woman was taken into custody.
The tractor trailers stuck in a long line on the inbound side of the highway began pulling away around 2:30 a.m.

There is new footage that shows that Antwon fired a gun earlier in the evening. He was found with an empty ammunition clip on his person. Sounds like a gang banger in training. I had to go into Pittsburgh this morning for an outpatient procedure for my mom at one of the hospitals. I usually go through this area that was blocked last night. Took a detour this morning!
And I did too.
We don’t know the details yet.
I hear the plan is to do this to the homestead high level bridge today.
Never mind video of this punk being involved in the drive bye shooting is now all edged to exist
Want to live the thug life don’t whine when it turns out to be a short one.
No Crackers involved. No protests.
