Man wanted for allegedly shooting at police officers in Pittsburgh

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – Police are searching for a man accused of shooting at Pittsburgh police officers in Penn Hills.

In a post on Facebook Thursday, Allegheny County police said 40-year-old Darrell Barham of Wilkinsburg faces a number of charges in connection with the incident, including aggravated assault and refusing to possess a firearm.

County police said the two Pittsburgh police detectives investigated Barham at a residence on Newfield Drive in Penn Hills around 5:30 a.m. Thursday.

Officials said investigators obtained a court order to monitor Bahman’s vehicle as he left the home and investigators noticed him leaving the area. Police said Burham followed them in a vehicle and investigators “heard multiple gunshots and observed muzzle flashes” from Barham’s vehicle on Hulton Road near Iowa Street.

Barham is on federal probation and is considered “potentially armed and dangerous,” county police said.

Police said if you see him, do not approach him and call 9-1-1. Anyone with information about his whereabouts is asked to call the county police tip line at 1-833-ALL-TIPS.
