Confirmed by local pgh media, three pittsburgh police officers killed.
Per andy shehan, kdka, two officers killed in house; then perp went to second story window. Cars on street ‘riddled with bullets.’ Fire fight to try and re-enter poploski house to retrive injured officers.
Per Andy Shehann,
The set up a perimeter around the house; city pd; city swat; allegheny county sheriff; pa state police; all commanded to fire on second story at once so officers could get into house to get officers; rescue of officers under a hail of gunfire. One officer already dead when they got to him; huge gun battle to get injured officers out.
Jon Burnett, kd weather man ‘knows’ guns, he is in on the interview w/Shehan (at the scene). Poploski’s range was approximately three football fields with guns he had...officers did not stand a chance; Poploski was out drinking the night before...conjection on Shehan’s part, saying that that is what may have caused the initial domestic fight in house. And then it escalated. Two units reponded to initial ‘domestic’ situation.
Only if he had a long distance of 'field of fire' to take advantage of.
Good commentary in your posts.
