Arrest made in shooting death of Penn Hills police officer


Police have made an arrest in the shooting death of a Penn Hills police officer, who died of gunshot wounds last night after responding to a home where a second man was found shot to death inside.

The Allegheny County Medical Examiner's office identified the officer as Michael Crawshaw, 32. Allegheny County Police Supt. Charles Moffatt said the officer was gunned down, apparently with an assault rifle, as he sat in his car awaiting backup in the 200 block of Johnston Road.

Officers found the other man, Danyal Morton, 40, dead of gunshot wounds inside.

The shootings occurred just before 8:30 p.m. Mr. Morton was pronounced dead at 8:30 p.m. Officer Crawshaw died at 8:45 at UPMC Presbyterian.


Supt. Moffatt said police have arrested Ronald Robinson, 31, of Homewood. He will be charged with two counts of homicide and burglary. Other charges could be pending, Supt. Moffatt said. He agreed to come in for questioning around 4 a.m. Police had information that led them to Mr. Robinson, but they did not explain what that information was.

Police said Mr. Robinson came to the home seeking payment of $500 from Mr. Morton related to a drug deal.

Penn Hills Police Chief Howard Burton said today that Officer Crawshaw, working the 4 to midnight shift, was dispatched after a man in the Johnston Road house called police and told them there was a problem. Emergency call takers then could hear gunshots and the victim breathing.

Officer Crawshaw responded and parked his car two houses down the street. Supt. Moffatt said that Officer Crawshaw was told to remain in his patrol car and wait for backup. Shots were heard from the house, and then a suspect came out and fired at the officer through the windshield as he sat in the car.

Medical Examiner Karl E. Williams said at the press conference that the officer was shot three or four times; the fatal wound was to the head. Officials believe the weapon was an assault rifle.


Ronald RobinsonSupt. Moffatt said the officer managed to fire at least one shot.

Inside the house, at least nine shots were fired. Mr. Morton was found lying in a bathroom, dead of gunshot wounds.

Allegheny County detectives and Penn Hills police were able to locate Mr. Robinson early this morning. He was wearing an electronic monitoring bracelet, and officials said they found weapons near Mr. Robinson's house.

Mr. Robinson has been arrested several times in the past, including on drug and firearms charges.

He pleaded guilty in 2005 to carrying a firearm without a license and was sentenced to 2-1/2 to 5 years in prison. He was paroled on Aug. 26, 2007, according to the state Department of Corrections.

Mr. Morton spent several years in prison on two separate burglary stints. He was incarcerated with the state from 1998 until 2002, and again from 2003 until January 2008 when he was paroled. However, he violated that parole in January of this year and was held an addtional two months.

Mr. Morton's criminal record dates back to 1991 and includes charges for fleeing or eluding, resisting arrest, recklessly endangering another person, criminal mischief and theft.

Court records indicate that on Dec. 16, 2001, city police were called to a street corner in Homewood where they found Mr. Robinson and another man, Marcus Jernigan. Mr. Jernigan, a cousin of Mr. Robinson, had been shot in the ankle.

The sidewalk was littered with .380 caliber handgun shells.

According to the police reports from the time, Mr. Robinson was suspected of throwing an object into nearby bushes. They retrieved a .380 caliber handgun with an empty clip.

Mr. Robinson's case took several years to find its way through the county courts, where he was convicted in 2005 of illegal possession of a handgun.

He was sentenced to 30 to 60 months in prison --- a sentence his lawyer, Michael Foglia, said was on the high end of the guidelines.

Mr. Foglia today said that Mr. Robinson had never been charged with shooting Mr. Jernigan and had, rather, come to his aid after he was shot by someone else.

The case took four years to reach court because Mr. Jernigan, who was to be a witness for Mr. Robinson, was in prison in Mississippi.

While out on bail on the gun charge, Mr. Robinson was picked up with five other people in a van in Braddock where police found a handgun and two grams of crack cocaine.

The gun could not be linked to him and he was convicted only of possession of drugs.

Police are still investigating whether anyone else was involved in the Penn Hills shootings.

Chief Burton said there had been calls for domestic disturbances at the address in the past.

Officer Crawshaw had been with the Penn Hills force for 2 1/2 years and had previously worked for the University of Pittsburgh force. He lived with his parents in Shaler.


Counselors were sent to the Penn Hills police station for the 54 officers, described by the chief as upset and concerned about the increasing level of violence they encounter on the job.

Outside the station, Penn Hills resident Jeanne Delancey placed flowers and said, "He was executed. It's just terrible."

Earlier, police said in radio broadcasts that they were seeking a man in connection with the incident, but Chief Burton said that man had shown up at the Clairton police station, told them he was not involved and was released.

This morning, detectives at county police headquarters were examining a Jeep recovered in the hours after the shootings.

A neighbor on Johnston, Nancy Salera, 50, said she heard at least 10 shots from what sounded like a machine gun or a semi-automatic rifle.

Governor Edward G. Rendell today ordered all state flags on commonwealth facilities in the Capitol Complex and in Allegheny County to fly at half-staff in honor of Officer Crawshaw.

The last Penn Hills police officers to die in the line of duty were Sgt. William Schrott and Patrolman Bartley Connolly Jr. in 1972. The men were shot trying to apprehend an armed robber at the East Hills Shopping Center

Arrest made in Penn Hills police officer's slaying

Allegheny County police charged a Homewood man this morning with fatally shooting a Penn Hills police officer and another man during a confrontation over a drug debt.

Ronald Robinson, 32, surrendered to police this morning and is charged with two counts of homicide, said county police Superintendent Charles Moffatt.

Robinson went to the Johnston Street apartment of Danyal Morton some time before 8:20 p.m. last night to collect $500 that Morton owed him from a drug deal on Saturday, Moffatt said. Morton called 911 to report gunmen in his home, said Penn Hills police Chief Howard Burton.

Officer Michael Crawshaw, 31, was first to respond and parked a few houses away to await backup, police said. He reported hearing gunfire inside the building and removed his .45-caliber Glock pistol from his holster, Moffatt said.

Robinson came out of the building and sprayed Crawshaw's squad car with bullets from an assault rifle, police said.

"He took it upon himself to open fire on the officer as he sat defenseless in his vehicle," Moffatt said.

Crawshaw was struck three or four times, with a fatal shot to his head, said Dr. Karl Williams, the county medical examiner.

He never made it out of his car. Moffatt said police believe Crawshaw might have fired one shot.

Responding officers found Morton, 40, fatally shot on the floor of his bathroom in his second-floor apartment.

Police this morning searched Robinson's Wheeler Street home and an abandoned house nearby. Moffatt said officers found four or five weapons in the abandoned house, including an AK-47.

Investigators from the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the county medical examiner's crime lab are examining the weapons. Moffatt said police suspect at least one or two of the weapons were used in the shootings.

Penn Hills police Chief Howard Burton said grief counselors were called in to speak with Crawshaw's fellow officers and many officers came in to work this morning.

"They all wanted to make a big effort to come into work to support the public and to help this investigation," Burton said.

Here is the criminal records of people that had the DA of alleghney county, the courts and so called criminal justice system done its stated purpose, another police officer may be alive today.

Look at the records & all the Nolle Prossed = not prosecuted

Each time there was an opportunity to put and keep the bad guys behind bars.
We don't have a lack of gun control, WE HAVE A LACK OF CRIMINAL CONTROL..........
