A community is mourning the loss of their police chief after he was shot and killed while chasing a suspect Monday afternoon. "I grew up in this neighborhood, I lived in the same house I grew up in and this has never happened," said Charlotte Anderson, who knew Chief Justin McIntire and his family. "(He) was very nice, very kind, always said hi, always gave a helping hand if you need it. Always just there for people. You don't have a bad thing to say about (the family)." Anderson and her 10-year-old son, Camdyn, were two of several people who stopped by the Brackenridge Borough Building Tuesday morning to pay their respects. "There's no words, it's unreal. This never happened around here. Too close to home right in your backyard," Anderson said."I left a cardinal (on the bench)," said Anderson's son. "I (feel) so bad." On Monday afternoon, police were chasing 28-year-old Aaron Swan, who was wanted on probation violations relating to weapons. Swan was stopped by state police Sunday night in a traffic stop, but fled the scene. Allegheny County police said after officers located again Swan on Monday and began an hours-long police chase through Brackenridge and Tarentum areas. During the chase, shots were fired along the 800 block of Third Street in Brackenridge. Then officers found Swan near the intersection of Morgan Street and Brackenridge Avenue, where another shooting occurred. The shootings killed McIntire and injured another officer from Tarentum. Todd Pierce told Pittsburgh's Action News 4 he was outside of his home along Morgan Street when he saw Swan with a gun."I was outside by my work van and that's when the suspect came around the side of my house, demanded the keys to my vehicle and I said I didn't have keys. I grabbed the barrel of the gun and pointed it toward the ground," Pierce said. "Then he ran to the back of my van and that's when the other officers came over and he started shooting at the officers and the officers shot back at him." Detectives said Swan allegedly walked into a home along the 1100 block of Pacific Avenue demanding keys and stole a vehicle. The people who had their car stolen were not hurt. Hours later, Pittsburgh police spotted Swan in the Lincoln-Lemington neighborhood. Detectives said officers tried stopping Swan in the vehicle but he took off, leading them on another chase. The chase ended quickly after Swan crashed the car on Columbiana Street in the Homewood-Brushton neighborhood and took off into a wooded area on foot. Police said Swan began firing at officers while running from them, they fired back, shooting and killing Swan at the scene."It (was) very scary. The biggest concern were my two boys, my granddaughter in the house, my wife was in my house," Pierce said. "It's really all surreal because it's such a small town, everybody knows everybody here," said Aaron Pierce, Pierce's son. "(The chief) was a nice guy all throughout the years I've known him."Allegheny County police said five guns were recovered and all are believed to have been used by Swan.Detectives added that during a shootout with Pittsburgh police, an officer suffered a minor eye injury from what is believed to be shrapnel.The Allegheny County Police Department said they will investigate the officer-involved shooting and will turn over their findings to the District Attorney’s office when finished.Anyone with information in this incident is asked to call the Allegheny County Police Tipline at 1-833-ALL-TIPS (1-833-255-8477).
