Hi mrMister,
Your comment was deleted because the name you mentioned in the last sentence is not mentioned in either the article or the Pittsburgh police reports. Since public documents aren't linking him to this case at this time, mentioning him in this way could be defamatory.
You are welcome to re-post your comment without that information. Thanks!

Furthermore, 'church' doesn't mean squat to most people. A meaning-less going through the motions Sunday activity, nothing more .
