Police shot and killed an unarmed teen who ran away from a traffic stop Tuesday night in East Pittsburgh, authorities said.
Authorities identified the dead teen as 17-year-old Antwon Rose, a Woodland Hills High School student who district officials said was one English class shy of graduating. He had been riding in a car linked to a non-fatal shooting 13 minutes earlier on North Braddock's Kirkpatrick Avenue, according to Allegheny County police.
A 22-year-old man wounded in the North Braddock shooting was treated and released from a hospital.
The deadly shooting in East Pittsburgh happened at 8:40 after borough police pulled over a car near Grandview Avenue and Howard Street — about 1½ miles from the scene of the North Braddock shooting. Officials said the car matched the description of one involved in the earlier shooting and appeared to have gunfire damage to its back window.
As an officer arrested the 20-year-old driver, two people ran from the car, police said. The officer opened fire, hitting Rose.
Rose was taken to UPMC McKeesport, where he was pronounced dead at 9:19 p.m., officials said.

Perfect summary
He was looking for a job to get his baby mamas caught up on child support and diapers. He was gonna take his cousins to the zoo Saturday. Was in a barbershop quartet. Amateur tattoo artist.
I appreciate the notions of shooting fleeing felons but anymore that won’t resonate with a growing number of people who don’t want to see unarmed and non-threatening people getting shot.
Myself, I’ll wait for the bodycam recording before passing judgment but I doubt that the mob will be so patient.
Oh, and if the bodycam was conveniently off or broken or lost then I’m sure the news coverage of a burning city will be pretty interesting.
Are you sure that this car was the suspect car?
If so, why?
Whether they feel like resonating or not, people trying to burn down a city should be shot as well.
As someone noted earlier: “Play stupid games; win stupid prizes.”
Him wuz a guud boy, tryin’ turn his life ‘roun....
Here’s the video. And like I said, this isn’t going to end well for the police.
The guns in the car must’ve slipped the reporters mind.

Context here is important, it wasnt just a routine traffic stop.
Glad you survived the urban shooting.
Am I the only one who wants Rush to stop saying drive-bys for the leftist media? They don’t quickly kill and then run away like urban types who rush past after shooting. They stay for annoying long years like Wolf Blitzer or Jake Tapper and don’t go away.
And I really cringe and get upset to “Peter StruckStroke” for that corrupt FBI nerd with the ugly mistress Page. Say Struk, please.
Otherwise I love Rush.
Yes, indeed.
Raining and foggy.
I'm sure the trouble makers will wait for better weather.
Rest assured pedudo will maximize this event.
Stupid of me, only thinking of one issue.
Wish the best for your dad, wish I had mine.
Thanks.
The occupants of the car were already involved in a shooting...
Officers had every reason to presume the runners were armed and would shoot more people.
The Herr Mayor Wilhelm mini me.
Excitable Boy, they all said.
It also might depend on the 3-shot grouping.
