At that time Fetterman told WTAE (Pittsburgh) that he thought he heard assault weapon gunfire. Fettermam chased and detained Chris Miyares, who he thought was responsible for the gunfire. Fetterman acknowledged that he was carrying a shotgun.
Miyares said that Fetterman “follwed me into North Braddock with a shotgun, and he aimed it at my chest.”
However, then Mayor (of Braddock) Fetterman denied that. Fetterman said that “I pointed it in a way so that he would see that I was armed, but I did not point it at him, in fact, I didn’t even have a round chambered or remove the safety at that point.”
