PITTSBURGH (Newsradio 1020 KDKA) - Governor Tom Wolf says he will support Pittsburgh's council and mayor in an effort to restrict the use of assault-style weapons within city limits.

The governor says City council and the mayor should have the right to control weapons affecting the city.

“I understand and I think he does that there are all kinds of legal and constitutional challenges that will ensue from this decision but he’s willing to do that and City Council is willing to do that and I applaud them.”

Wolf also says he is willing to consider efforts in the state legislature to change the justification for police involved shootings following the not guilty verdict in the Antwon Rose Case.
