Police had been pursuing suspect Aaron Lamont Swan since Sunday, on weapons-related parole violations. The 28-year-old allegedly fled a traffic spot.
Officers in Brackenridge, just outside of Pittsburgh, encountered Swan the following day, where the man allegedly fired on officers, killing Brackenridge Police Chief Justin McIntire and wounding another officer, who was shot in the leg and is now in stable condition.
Todays tragedy in Brackenridge is a devastating reminder of the bravery of those who put their lives on the line every day to protect us. Police Chief Justin McIntire ran towards danger to keep Pennsylvanians safe and he made the ultimate sacrifice in service to community, governor-elect Josh Shapiro said in a statement. Chief McIntire and his family are in my prayers, as is his fellow officer who was injured in the line of duty tonight. May Chief McIntires memory be a blessing.
The 28-year-old was considered armed and very dangerous, County Police Superintendent Christopher Kearns told TribLive.

When are the blue lives going to join the black lives, kids lives, and family lives against guns in the hands of anyone but our well regulated miltia aka National Guard.
This regular death toll daily from guns is sick, and all the 2nd Amendment good guys with guns are not making anyone safer.
This is the land of gun deaths.
We have an exceptional record.
