Pennsylvania high school math teacher shot and killed by police, who say he pointed a firearm at officers responding to a 911 call to his home.
A Pennsylvania high school math teacher was shot and killed by police, who said he pointed a firearm at officers responding to a 911 call to his home.
The Penn Hills School District's school board president, Erin Vecchio, said that Donald Babbit, 49, had been a popular teacher over two decades and that the community was"in shock."According to Allegheny County Police Superintendent Coleman McDonough, police responding to a 911 call were told by Babbit's wife that he was “behaving erratically” and had access to weapons.
When Babbit came outside, he was “obviously and visibly armed with a handgun,” and walked towards the officers waving the gun and pointing the weapon at one officer, according to McDonough, who said officers commanded Babbit to drop his weapon. Three officers – two from Shaler Township and one from Hampton Township – fired on Babbit and “struck him multiple times,” McDonough said. Babbit was pronounced dead at Allegheny General Hospital.“Don was a beloved member of our staff and had the distinct reputation among students, families, and colleagues as being an exceptional teacher,” the district said in a statement. “He will be missed.”
Allegheny County police said the three officers were placed on administrative leave by their departments pending a review of the incident.
