Edward J. Gorinski, 28, was shot and killed by a Pennsylvania state trooper on a Monday evening in South Greensburg, a little over two hours after being released from Westmoreland County Prison following an 11-day stay. Gorinski, who had a history of threatening behavior and mental illness, broke into an acquaintance’s home after his release, called his parents in violation of a protection-from-abuse order, and stole a .22-caliber rifle while inside the residence.

A state trooper responding to the protection-order violation located Gorinski, who fled on foot when the trooper activated his lights and ordered him to stop. The pursuit reached the 1400 block of Broad Street, where Gorinski attempted to carjack a 39-year-old woman who had slowed her SUV; he ordered her out of the vehicle at gunpoint. The trooper, about 20 yards away, ordered Gorinski to drop the rifle and, when Gorinski did not comply after multiple commands, fired three shots, fatally wounding him. The woman and the trooper were not physically harmed. The trooper, a four-year veteran of the Greensburg barracks, was placed on paid administrative leave.

Are there witnesses or additional details about the moments before the shooting that could clarify what happened?
