Protesters Shut Down Parts Of Route 28, Homestead Grays Bridge Over Killing Of Antwon Rose By East Pittsburgh Police Officer
KDKA 11:00pm news showed a couple of cars flattening protestors, TRYING to get out of the Pirates game tonight.
Moreover, the East Pittsburgh angel/perp, has been found to BE ON VIDEO committing the driveby, MOMENTS before he got himself perished.
This is a VERY serious & fluid situation: PAZRT members are urged to make SURE their powder is dry, and if traveling into any SUSPECT areas of the city, go PREPARED (or better still, skip it - until the smoke clears!). As Sam explained to Vincent in "Ronin:"
Stay frosty, fellow Zombie hunters...
Protesters Shut Down Parts Of Route 28, Homestead Grays Bridge Over Killing Of Antwon Rose By East Pittsburgh Police Officer
Quote:PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — Demonstrators marched through Downtown Pittsburgh and the North Shore this evening in another protest over the fatal shooting of 17-year-old Antwon Rose Jr. by East Pittsburgh police officer Michael Rosfeld.
By the evening hours, two different protests had shut down the Homestead Grays Bridge and two entrances to Route 28. Route 28 was closed for a short time coming off of 279, by the 9th Street Bridge, but reopened as protesters quickly moved through. The demonstrators then headed towards East Ohio Street and over to the Allegheny Center Mall and back toward PNC Park.

They then went on the move, marching down 6th Street and over the Roberto Clemente Bridge.
They stood on the bridge, already closed for the Friday night’s Pittsburgh Pirates’ game, chanting and rallying for a short time, then moved further down, ending up in front of PNC Park.

Quote:UPDATED (7:30 p.m.) Tonight the Allegheny County Police Superintendent responded to multiple reports that Antwon Rose had gunshot residue on his hand, and there is video that apparently shows Rose firing a gun during a shooting minutes before an East Pittsburgh officer shot and killed him as he ran away. That statement is below.
The Superintendent did not say who did open fire in the drive-by in North Braddock just after 8 p.m. on Tuesday wounding a 22-year-old man.
No arrests have been made in that case. There was also no additional information about the District Attorney’s statement to Channel 11 today that an empty gun clip was found on Rose after the shooting in East Pittsburgh.
Channel 11 is also waiting to hear if the officer who shot Antwon Rose, Michael Rosfeld, has been interviewed by Allegheny County Police.
Quote:“The Allegheny County Police Department (ACPD) continues to receive inquiries related to reports from police sources that 1) a video of the drive-by shooting in North Braddock shows Antwon Rose firing a gun; and, 2) that gunshot residue has been found on Antwon Rose’s hands.https://www.wpxi.com/news/top-stories/al.../773155104
“According to Lieutenant Andrew Schurman of the Allegheny County Police Department’s Homicide Unit, both reports are false. While ACPD does have a video showing the North Braddock incident, that video does NOT show Antwon Rose firing a gun. The information about gunshot residue is also false. Crime Lab reports are still pending and have not yet been issued.
“The District Attorney’s office also concurs and affirms the information provided by Lt. Schurman.
“We caution the media about providing irresponsible information from sources that are not verified. Once published, such false information can be widely spread. We share your interest in providing answers to the many questions in our community, and are working expeditiously to gather all of the available information and detail so that it can be reviewed, and answers provided. We are not releasing additional information at this time to protect the integrity of the investigation, and ask for your cooperation and understanding of what we require as police to complete the independent investigation of this incident.”
