Per WPXI in Pgh; Diane Richard, public information officer of Pittsburgh Police Dept., 5 officers injured. She would not confirm any loss of life or severity of injuries. Pray that they are wrong on the deaths...but in conflicting reports they are still saying three Pgh Police dead.
This was a response to a 7a.m domestic call. Next presser at 3pm w/chief of Pgh PD.
Richard Poploski (sp?) perp. WPXI interviewing a HS classmate right. He is surprised/shocked by all of this. He was smart kid; maybe something happened in military (per his friend) being reported as an ex-marine. No knowledge of druge use either.
Alot of Pgh. Police and Fire dept live in Stanton Heights neighborhood. It is a nice,nice area.
Thanks very much for this summary.
P.S. Nice tagline
Showing an aerial shot right now; three Pgh PD cars crashed infront of the house. Back to report of 5 officers injured; 3 dead (possibly...prayers that this is wrong).
They now have a bomb robot on the scene.
Poploski (sp) lived in the house w/his mother. 23 years old white male; former Marine; attended North Catholic HS.
