Only in PittsburghFollow

So I'm on my way into work and was coming from town. All of a sudden two swat vans go flying past along with about ten or eleven squad cars. Several more black and whites come flying up and block the road right in front of me. Cops run out of the squad cars and one smacks my window and is screaming at me to open the door. I open the door and get dragged out of the car and pulled around the side of the closest building.

The other cops do the same to all the cars behind me and at the other stops in the intersection. After standing there with about sixty other people for about an hour we find out there is a sniper up on top of Heinz Hall which was right around the corner.

Fast forward about another forty five minutes and they finally let us go. The "sniper" was carrying a pellet rifle and was shooting pigeons. Only in Pittsburgh, still should be fun to watch the news of multiple cops dragging this guy to the ground.

And yes I still have my weed! Woot!
