Gunfire erupted in Pittsburgh Wednesday as an anti-government squatter barricaded himself against deputies attempting to evict him from a house where he’d been unwelcomed since March, according to authorities.
The suspect, William Hardison, who went by Bill, covered himself in body armor before trading hundreds of bullets with law enforcement officers in a standoff that lasted more than six hours on the 4800 block of Broad Street in the city’s Garfield neighborhood.
City police, deputies and other law enforcement officers from state, local and federal agencies evacuated neighbors and eventually killed Hardison.
