STATEMENT BY PBA PRESIDENT PATRICK J. LYNCH
REACTING TO GATES AVENUE SHOOTING
“This is an unfortunate situation where the deceased convinced
everyone involved — from family members to responding officers — that
he was in possession of a gun. Tragically, he sought and succeeded
in forcing a deadly confrontation with police.”
