Pittsburgh Police LOD


In Valor There is Hope

On Saturday, April 4th, 2009, three members of the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Police Department were killed in the line of duty.

The slain officers were identified as Eric Kelly, 41, Stephen Mayhle, 29, and Paul Sciullo III, 37. Two other officers were injured during the incident as well.
Officers Sciullo and Mayhle were both shot in the head by the perpetrator who ambushed them when they responded to the initial 911 call. Officer Kelly, who was off-duty, and going home, heard the call and responded to back up the officers and was also killed trying to save them.

These officers, like every other, put on their uniforms every day in this country and put their lives on the line for each and every one of us. Like our much under-appreciated military, these brave men and women put themselves into harms way each and everyday to protect us.

Please keep them & their families in your prayers.
