Just down the road from a retired coworker who just called and gave us a rundown.

The gunman was shot and killed by a police officer.

This is a rural area about 50-60 miles south of Pittsburgh near the WV border.

Probably more guns per capita than anywhere else in the country and shootings are very rare, confined mainly to certain areas (wink, wink, nudge) of Uniontown.

Fayette Co is locally known as Fayette Nam, inhabited by the Fayette Cong.

I often visit nearby on business in Uniontown, Smithfield and Lamont Furnace — a stones throw to my namesake’s college WVU in Morgantown ...

LOL! Thanks for the local color. I heard the DA say that security was an issue..does that mean there's no metal detectors or guards at the entrance to the courthouse?

My old courthouse had neither metal detectors or guards, unless we had a big trial. On those days, I just walked around the metal detector. If our courthouse had had security, I wouldn't have needed to *accessorize*. But once I did, I always wore accessories to work ;)

Not the same Uniontown my dad grew up in!
