Johnathan Jermia Morris — 31, of McKeesport — is charged in Allegheny County with criminal homicide, aggravated assault and attempted murder, and assault of a law enforcement officer in the shooting Monday afternoon in McKeesport, about 12 miles (20 kilometers) south of Pittsburgh.
Officers were called to a home shortly after noon Monday over a dispute involving a man that police said was having a “mental health crisis.” He refused to talk to them and walked away from the home, and officers were warned by a family member that he might be armed.
When police encountered him nearby, he “suddenly produced a handgun and shot the two McKeesport officers,” said Christopher Kearns, the county’s police superintendent.
Thirty-two-year-old Sean Sluganski, who had worked for McKeesport police for two years, died at a hospital.
A wounded officer was treated and discharged.
