PITTSBURGH (AP) - Police cordoned off downtown streets for nearly two hours and SWAT teams searched buildings Wednesday for a possible sniper with a rifle, but it turned out to be a man with a pellet gun that he used to shoot pigeons.
Police Chief Dom Costa said charges were being considered because it is illegal to shoot a pellet gun in the city.
While it may be legal to carry a pellet gun, he said, "there's not a lot of common sense to it."
