Police: Wilkinsburg Home Intruder Apparently Shot, Killed By Accomplice
A late night home invasion turned deadly in Wilkinsburg.
By Lindsay Ward
WILKINSBURG, Pa. (KDKA) — Allegheny County Police detectives are investigating a fatal shooting in Wilkinsburg.According to police, this started out as a home invasion. Around 11 p.m. Monday night five people inside a house — three men and two women — were met with intruders.
Allegheny County Police say the home invasion along Penn Avenue involved two intruders. Police say when they were inside, they were confronted by two armed men who live in the home.
Police said soon afterward, one of the intruders began shooting then ran out through the front door, while the second intruder ran out through the back door.
Shots fired, screaming and yelling is something Howard Jackson doesn’t typically hear at night. But he did less than 24 hours ago, right across from where he lives.
“Violence is tremendous today,” said Howard Jackson.
While Wilkinsburg Police were searching the area, they found the body of a 29-year old man along the intersection of Superior Street and Penn Avenue. That man was found wearing a ski mask.
Allegheny County Police say through their investigation, they found the two armed men who live in the home did not return fire. As of Tuesday morning, investigators say it appears the man was struck by gunfire from his accomplice.

“…fugly little guns…” Gun Bunny? Grinding through the interwebs looking for suitable FGS articles can be frustrating at times, Deltas Whiskies and Whiskettes. Occasionally I come across one that makes me grin. This is one of those occasions.

If they haven’t already, The Firearm Blog would put this on a survey and ask, “Hot Gat or Fudd Crap?”
My vote would be Fudd Crap.
I would label that thing a dangerous device.
An infernal machine.

Took me awhile to wade thru it all this am. Lots of overnight dispatches, the dumbasses picking the wrong house (again!) AND the in depth article/video on the fugly BIG Gun! Doubled up version of the most Saintly John Moses Browning’s (Howitzer be his name) Work. I may nots be NEEDING one of those as much as I bees WANTING one of those for…..reasons. Be still my beating heart. More proof that AW1Ed loves me and wants me to be happy.
As a Tip of the Hat to the Double Barrel Hand Cannon and to the commenter in the article referencing Big Girls, I attach the following PSA!
“……two intruders……”
Need to change the scorecard to 1/0/1.
One DOT, one AWOL.

Well, if one big boolit on target is good, two could only be better. Probably no need for back-up shots, either. I am sure Harris, Biden, et al will clamor to have ‘assault .45s’ banned ASAP.
Was watching modern marvels last night about the history of cannons These Modern marvel shows are old and they had the 155MM Crusader which was going to replace the Paladin 155MM self propelled gun so this morning, I googled the Crusader and it never went into production and was dropped. Also showed the disapearing 16 In. Coast arty guns. My Dad was a Tech Sgt. and was stationed at Fort Tilden NYC (Rockaway) where from the belt Pkwy, you could see the three mounds where the guns were. He also was stationed at Ft. Hamilton, Bklyn. NYC and Earle weapons depot in NJ. Along the belt Pkwy in the 1950’s they still had the quanset huts from the AA Batteries that were along the Belt.
