They escaped officers once, and eventually Port Authority Police caught up with them near the Hamnett Place bus stop on the East Busway.
Police say Bruce Kelley Jr. refused orders and when using a stun gun didn’t work, they released K-9 Officer Aren in an effort to capture Kelley.
“At the time they released the dog on him, he had a knife and he stabbed the dog and the dog went down. Then officers shot and killed the man,” Supt. Charlie Moffat with County Police told KDKA TV .
