6 killings, allegedly committed by 5 parolees in Penn. over 2 months, prompt calls for system review.
HARRISBURG, Pa. — Six homicides allegedly committed by five Pennsylvania parolees over the past two months, including the slayings of two children and a Pittsburgh police officer, have struck a chord in the ranks of law enforcement and the state's prisons agency.
The slayings have prompted calls from county prosecutors and the state corrections officers' union for a review of Pennsylvania's parole practices, although the president of the corrections officers' union said Wednesday that an internal review isn't enough for a system in which parole has become too automatic.
That included 93 for murder. Most, or 4,676, were for non-violent cases, it said. Running totals for this calendar year were not available Wednesday. In the ensuing days, four other parolees were charged in slayings, most with connections to domestic violence.
