I live in Pennsylvania & today when i woke up, the news was on. It wasnt time for the news so i was confused. The Pittsburgh police had a domestic disturbance phone call this morning that went bad. When the officers went to check out the disturbance, the man in the house shot them. Four officers got shot. 2 died. They had a negotiator there trying to get the man to come out. This started at 7am & this just ended at 11. They had the bomb squad & the swat team there. The kid that did this was only 23. He was watching this on the tv because they had a broadcast going. Then they cut the cable. That's when he surrendered. I hope this kid goes to jail for the rest of his life. But seriously what is wrong with people. What makes people do the things they do?

I don't know the motives of this guy, but I can't help but questions what the motives were. I too hope that he goes to prison, and I do believe that he will, as he has killed two police officers, and injured two more. I wouldn't be surprised if they got all the evidence that they need to convict him. It's just sad that a young guy's life is ruined, because of two counts of manslaughter.

i think being 23 is not too young enough not to know what is right and what is wrong. he should have known better. even kids know what it is wrong to kill. even those who are not yet in school they will know that it is bad thing to do. i think that the kid is more like in problematic situation and will just do any thing he would see on tv.

If they could ever figure that out then maybe they could do something about it but I really don't think there is any explanation of why people do crazy stuff. Maybe that's it, they're just plain crazy!
