A man was shot and killed during an exchange of gunfire with police in a Pittsburgh suburb over the weekend, authorities said.
Allegheny County police said officers in Forest Hills were dispatched shortly before 10:30 a.m. Sunday to investigate a report of a man yelling at people and lifting his shirt to display a firearm.
Officers found the man walking in the street and tried to talk with him, but they say he produced a handgun and fired at officers, police said. They returned fire, striking him multiple times, and he was pronounced dead at a hospital. Police said the officers were uninjured although gunfire struck the pants of one officer.
