Very Interesting & Potentially Volatile Situation - Crimes in the Making...
Wednesday, October 28th is a Wilkinsburg Zoning Hearing meeting that everyone should try to attend. It will be a meeting to learn about what Abraxas Cornell wants to do with its facility at Penn and Trenton. They would like to house female juveniles with adult males who are being released from federal prison. I am not sure how they plan to do it, but it is about funding streams for them. It is important for many residents to show up at this meeting. I believe this meeting starts at 6:30 or 7:00.
I received the above e-mail and as a resident of Wilkinsburg, am very concerned with WHY an organization would want to house juvenile females with adult mailes released from federal prison. What are your thoughts on this???

POSTED: 6:24 am EDT October 19, 2009UPDATED: 11:38 am EDT October 19, 2009
PITTSBURGH -- A crash and a shooting closed lanes on the outbound side of Parkway East/Interstate 376 early Monday morning, leaving commuters and truck drivers sitting in traffic for hours.
VIDEO: Watch Ari Hait's Report From The Scene
State police report that two sport utility vehicles were involved in the crash and one of the SUVs flipped on its roof at about 3:45 a.m. near the Greenfield exit.
Police said one of the drivers -- identified as Darrle Gaines, 31, of the North Side -- apparently shot the other driver, who is from Wall, Allegheny County.
The second driver hit Gaines' vehicle, pushing it off to the berm and causing it to overturn, police said.
Gaines, the other driver and that driver's passenger, who is also from Wall, were all taken to a hospital for treatment. Their conditions are not known, but police said Gaines suffered "serious neck injuries."
The outbound side of Parkway East was closed from Grant Street to the area of the Squirrel Hill tunnels for more than five hours. Outbound lanes opened at about 8:50 a.m.
On the inbound side, traffic delays were heavier than normal from Monroeville to the Squirrel Hill tunnels.
Police said Gaines will be charged with two counts of attempted homicide.
