(CNN) -- Three police officers were shot in Pittsburgh on Saturday, as they responded to a domestic call, Allegheny County police said.

A gunman is apparently holed up inside a home in the Stanton Heights neighborhood of the western Pennsylvania city.

The conditions of the officers were not known.

Police couldn't say whether the officers struck were from the city, the county or other departments. City, county and state police officers were at the scene.

CNN affiliate WTAE reported that as many as 80 shots have been fired between people in the house and officers.

I thought guns were supposed to make society safer?

1. You misrepresent the gun-grabber mantra, "GUN-BANS make society safer."

You really should stick to the Brady/VPC pre-rolled balls.

4. what are guns supposed to do then?

5. I suggest you read posts from pro-RKBA DUers on the Guns forum. You will find them based on facts

and grounded in the history of the states that later joined together to become the United States.

I hope you enjoy the educational process as you learn the most elemental facts surrounding just one of the rights enumerated in our Constitution.

2. I did have something witty to say, but quite frankly, you aren't worth the time. NT

3. Very Sad..My heart goes out to the families of the officers...

..we are seeing the results of 40 years of Republican values. (screw the workers and blame the poor and hungry)

When people are desperate and they know that their elected government is not listening..you are going to get what the CIA Agents call "Blow Back".

I have family members in law enforcement.. and I worry about them with this summer season coming up.

People should put the blame where it belongs (with the Bankster/Gangsters) We are currently supporting the very people who caused the problem in the first place. I think Mr. Obama is missing the point here.. but I'm waiting to see?

The fact that we are not bailing out the American Taxpayers is a crime that will go down in history as the biggest rip-off ever perpetrated on the American people.
