More details: “...police believe that the two men entered the four-unit apartment building at 23 Merritt Ave., fired through the door of the first-floor apartment and entered. She said a man and his girlfriend were inside, and the pair pushed the man into a bedroom, where he kept a shotgun. The man then shot the two intruders.”

Fired through the door implies the intruders were armed.

While filming in Carrick, the product crew turned Merritt Avenue into “Brady Avenue” for the movie. (Which confused police.)

Boy, do we have a bunch of idiot cops around here or what?

Most likely they were born and raised in Pittsburgh, and have been patrolling Carrick for at least a year, yet changing the street sign on Merrick Ave. throws them off?

I am generally very sympathetic to law enforcement, but my last encounter with city cops left me highly unimpressed. I walked away asking myself "seriously, are these the cops from The Simpsons?"
