• Gunfire erupted in Pittsburgh Wednesday as an anti-government squatter barricaded himself against deputies attempting to evict him from a house where he’d been unwelcomed since March, according to authorities.
• The suspect, William Hardison, who went by Bill, covered himself in body armor before trading hundreds of bullets with law enforcement officers in a standoff that lasted more than six hours on the 4800 block of Broad Street in the city’s Garfield neighborhood.
• City police, deputies and other law enforcement officers from state, local and federal agencies evacuated neighbors and eventually killed Hardison.
