Police Chief Justin McIntire ran towards danger to keep Pennsylvanians safe — and he made the ultimate sacrifice in service to community. - Josh Shapiro
A candlelight vigil will be held Thursday night (Jan. 5th) in Brackenridge Park, across from the Brackenridge American Legion. Brackenridge Mayor Lindsay Fraser invites all to join.

He was an incredible husband, father and friend to many. He was also an exemplary police officer and chief- so many admired and looked up the example he set of how to be a light in the community. We want to come together for her & the kids to help take any amount of stress off that we can. Justin gave his life protecting the community, now it’s our turn to give back to his family. 💙
