Officer Shoots, Kills Fugitive After Attempted Arrest

Pittsburgh police say a person was fatally shot by a law enforcement officer when a U.S. marshal's-led fugitive task force went to a home to serve an arrest warrant.

The U.S. Marshal's Office in Pittsburgh says officials remain at the scene and are unavailable for comment. The Marshal's Office heads a fugitive task force in western Pennsylvania that includes state and city police, sheriff's deputies and probation and parole officers.

City police spokeswoman Sonya Toler says Pittsburgh officers were not involved in the early Tuesday morning shooting, but are responsible for investigating it.

She confirmed that someone was fatally shot by a law enforcement officer, but declined to offer further details
