February 19, 2011 Pittsburgh crimes scenes to be heavily guarded after shooting www.privateofficer.com
PITTSBURGH PA Feb 19 2011—Allegheny County District Attorney Stephen Zappala Jr. says he’s working with county police on having a unit available with rifles to guard crime scenes in dangerous situations.
Zappala talked about the plan after two shots were fired in the direction of police, crime scene technicians and others working the scene of a double shooting early Thursday in West Homestead, a Pittsburgh suburb.
Zappala says his idea is to outfit the unit with AR-15 rifles. The crime scene guards could be called out by the lead investigating agency if they have a crime scene that warrants it, say in an area known for violence or one that is poorly lit.
No officers were wounded at the scene of the West Homestead shooting and nobody has been charged with firing the shots at law officers.
