MCKEESPORT, Pa. (AP) — A handcuffed man fired a gun police didn't know he had out of a police vehicle hitting an officer three times before fleeing from a western Pennsylvania police station, police said.
Koby Lee Francis, 22, of McKeesport, had been arrested after allegedly violating a protection from abuse order before Sunday afternoon's gunfire outside the McKeesport police station, Allegheny County Police Superintendent Coleman McDonough said Monday. McKeesport is located near Pittsburgh.
Officer Gerasimos Athans, 32, had wounds that weren't life-threatening and was expected to be discharged from the hospital in the next few days, McDonough said. Police are searching for Francis and said he should be considered armed and dangerous.
