An “extremely active” shooting situation is ongoing in Pittsburgh after authorities attempted an eviction, city spokesperson Maria Montano said Wednesday.

Shots are “continuing to be fired” after the Allegheny County Sheriff’s Office tried to evict a resident in the Garfield area and the suspect opened fire on deputies, officials said.

    When it’s a choice between a quick death-by-cop or a slow death from having to live on the streets, the choice can be simpler to make. :(

      You might be able to eventually improve your life and get off the streets. That won’t happen if you’re dead.

          Sure, it’s the solution to all of life’s problems.

        You’ve obviously never lived there.

          I have one, the only plus was I still had a car to sleep in, at least for a little while before it got towed. Fun fact, I learned about the bank bailouts from my car radio while this was going down. I remember thinking that at this moment if I could I would detonate every nuke on earth and send us back to square one.

          Are you saying no one ever gets off the streets? Because that’s just blatantly false.

            I’m saying you seem to have no idea of how difficult it is to do because taxpayers don’t want to spend money on housing and social programs to help people get off the streets.

              I never said it wasn’t difficult. Of course it’s difficult. You know what would make it impossible though? Being dead.

                maybe you should go back and read what has been happening in this thread. neither of us could have been clearer but you don’t seem to want to understand the words in the order they’ve been presented.

                  You told me they’re saying I personally didn’t get off the streets and you think that’s clear? Again: What?
