PITTSBURGH -- Pittsburgh Steeler Hines Ward along with his teammates made a major donation to Pittsburgh's Zone 5 police force Tuesday.

Ward presented the officers with Tom-Tom GPS systems for all of the zones' police vehicles.

Officers Eric Kelly, Paul Sciullo and Stephen Mahley were killed in a shootout in Stanton Heights back in April.

All three were Zone 5 officers.

Ward hosted a softball fundraiser earlier this year to raise money for their families and the Pittsburgh Fallen Heroes Fund.

He used some of that money to buy the GPS systems.

Best Buy also contributed to the cause.

"All in all through the softball tournament and the contributions from some of the players, we feel good about it. It's an unfortunate situation. Like I said we're blessed to have families here and the city of Pittsburgh has give us so much this is a small token of our appreciation and thanks to all the officers," Ward said.

"It kind of puts a band-aid on it a little bit you hope by giving back to them and being around them a little bit around Christmas time," said Steelers Guard Ramon Foster.

After the presentation, players stuck around to take pictures and sign autographs for the officers.
