My best friends son in law Sam was the FBI agent involved.My son and Brooke,Sams wife, grew up together,went on family vacas together,holidays,lived two doors apart,etc etc etc.
FBI picked up Brookes parents and Sams parents and are flying them to Pittsburg to be with Brook.
I'm <redacted> numb.

I called personally to home to wish he and his family my condolences.

I hope the govt. charges them all with felony murder. Every one of the 25 arrested looks at being criminally culpable in the murder without regard to who pulled the trigger. And no deals. No parole. No nothing but life, and for the shooter the death penalty.

FBI Agent Was Killed During Drug Raid

The agent was shot while trying to serve a warrant on Woods Run Road in Indiana Township.

Robert Korbe was arrested and is now in federal custody.

The drug raid was a coordinated effort between federal authorities, state and city police.

They were looking for about 31 people involved in a drug ring, and we are told that they managed to arrest about 25 of those people.

One of those arrested was Nadine Russo, the girlfriend of Paul Spadafora and the mother of his child.

Spadafora was convicted of shooting Russo back in 2003, in McKees Rocks.

Most of the 25 arrested were brought to the the Pittsburgh Police Department's Major Crimes unit on the North Side then taken to the Allegheny County Jail.

I'm very sorry to hear that. I'm sure he died doing what he loves, perhaps his family can have some peace from that while they wait for justice.

Saw a story this morning. It seems the guy in the house is a repeat offender..... Drugs and weapons charges, the warrant was out for him. The story said his wife did the shooting.

Lawyer says the wife thought it was a home invasion. Guess we'll see how it plays out in Court.

Sorry to hear that Janq. We see these stories all the time but it's different when it hits close to home. My condolences.

I saw an update ,the guys wife killed the agent,she said she thought they were being robbed etc. and never heard police.Heres the problem hubby saw them coming and ran downstairs to flush the cocaine and then got dressed,if he knew they were cops I'm sure he yelled out to his wife cops aree coming or were being raided .IMHO his wife will be spending the rest of her life if she don't get the death penalty and he may be right there with her.BTW most states do not allow for SD if you are engaged in criminal activity

Too bad they don't let the Victim's family be the ones to insert the I.V. into the condemned's arm.

Condolences to the family.

The Pittsburgh TV News has really given this agent as well as this story quite a bit of coverage and air time.

This FBI agent was really a super decent, intelligent guy with a truly loving Wife and a beautiful young child.
He was a great husband and an incredibly dedicated Father and he was very much liked and respected in his community.
He was raised in a family with an absent Father and so he took on that role for his younger Sister.

For certain "One Of The Good Guys"

RIP
