Three Fallen Officers

A horrific event occurred in Pittsburgh on April 4, 2009. Richard Poplawski fatally shot Paul Sciullo, Stephen Mayhle and Eric Kelly leaving all three officers dead at the scene. Many people who did not even know the officers made tons of respect to them and their families as they lost their lives in the line of duty. The whole city of Pittsburgh can't thank them enough. Poplawski trial concluded this summer as the result was he would be given the death penalty. Now the question was what would happen with the house where the three officers were killed? No one would want to live there after such a horrific event occurred at the house. It finally was sold last week in a sheriff shale. That gentlemen decided out of respect to the officers to demolish the house and then build on the ground once all of the debris was gone. All of this finally came true earlier this week when the house was demolished after many delays in the process since the crime occurred in 2009. The families of the fallen officers are happy that this is over with as they hope to try and move on with their lives as best they can.

  1. This was really well written. I hadn't been following the story since 2009, but I'm so glad the families have been able to get some closure.
