A press conference has just been completed about 10 minutes ago and some information needs to be clarified:
Looks like the man who did the shooting was at the house all along. Police responded to the house from a 911 call, saying that there was a domestic disturbance.
The suspect had a bullet-proof vest on during the crime. After the 3 officers were killed and 2 injured, he gave up. FOX News Channel and WTAE-TV both report that the suspect was afraid that President Obama was going to take his guns away, and that he was not going to let this happen.
As of now, looks like the suspect is in the hospital, and is charged with 3 counts of murder. And it is quite possible that they will go for the death penalty in this case.
More updates later as they warrant.
