POLICE OFFICER AND GUNMAN KILLED IN UPMC SHOOTOUT

Pennsylvania authorities say the man who held staff at a Pittsburgh hospital at gunpoint before killing a police officer had visited that hospital before the shooting.  Police in York County say 49-year-old Diogenes Archangel Ortiz was holding hostages in the UPMC Memorial Hospital ICU Saturday and threatening to kill one in the hallway when several officers opened fire.  Officer Andrew Duarte and the gunman were killed in the shootout, and five others were wounded.  The York County D.A. says Ortiz was at the intensive care unit days earlier, and had – in his words – targeted the ICU.  The gunman’s exact motives are still unknown.
