WESTMORELAND COUNTY, Pa. — A man is dead after a Saturday incident in Westmoreland County.
The Westmoreland County District Attorney’s Office initially told Channel 11 on Saturday that county detectives were responding to a “police-related incident” in Ligonier.
11 Investigates’ sources had said a man shot at officers during a traffic stop on Rt 30 and then shot himself.
On Sunday, the DA’s office said detectives were assisting Ligonier Valley police in a shots-fired investigation off Route 30 and Baywood Road, when they encountered a man and heard gunshots.
The DA’s office says officers later determined the man died due to a self-inflicted wound. No members of law enforcement fired any shots, nor were any shots fired directly at them.
The incident was contained and there was no threat to the public.
