On January 27, 2014, 56-year-old Charles Anthony Hull was shot and killed by a Penn-Hills police officer outside his Calvin Street home. Officers were dispatched around 6:15 a.m. after Hull’s live-in girlfriend called 911 saying Hull had been outside with a rifle, had fired a shot inside the house, and she had fled the residence. Responding officers encountered Hull armed with a rifle; according to official accounts Hull pointed the weapon at one of the officers, and that officer fired, striking Hull. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

The Allegheny County District Attorney’s Office reviewed the officer-involved shooting and determined the use of force was justified; no arrests or charges were filed and the case was closed. The death is recorded as a homicide. Does anyone have information about Hull, the household on Calvin Street, or witnesses to the early-morning incident?
