Some parts of Penn Hills are pretty sketchy, like just coming out of East Liberty and those areas… Along Frankstown Rd. ---

The landlord for my shop is good friends with all of the Penn hills officers,being as he has a shop right next to mine with the Penn hills impound lot , there are always officers stopping in to say hi and check things out, i hope it’s no one we’ve met, but that’s an unreal situation to deal with. Prayers go out to the friends and families. ---

Mike was in my police academy class. 3rd out of 40 to die since graduation. Truly a nice guy, far from a “gun-ho” kind of cop. ---

I just heard about this tonight. The shooting was .36 mile from my house (I know this because when my mom heard about it she mapquested the distance from my house to where the shooting occured :hs:). This part of Penn Hills is close to Wilkinsburg, so it can be kind of iffy. I didn’t think it was bad enough for this though. I’m glad I decided to buy a gun earlier this year. ---

Sad to hear. My mom was telling me about the Last Radio Roll Call they had over the radio the other day. From what I understand it was incredibly emotional for the officers in the department to hear. I can only imagine. R.I.P. Officer Crawshaw.
