Ray deMachay (sp?) a Pittsburgh Police SWAT support officer; stating this is the most weapons fire he had ever been involved in. Calling it a fire fight.

Pgh Police ran the streeet addresses and called each home on street; telling them to ‘shelter in place.’ No way to evacuate too much fire coming from perp.

Officer will not comment on number of officers brought to scene. City, county and state equipment used at scene.

He would not comment on injuries/fatalaties.

I’m not surprised that he won’t speculate until he has accurate information. I’m sure we’ll know soon.

One of the reporters said that the 4th officer had a wound in the hand. I wish they wouldn’t say anything until they know for sure. Reporters routinely repeat rumors, I find it really annoying.
