Friday night, after a jury found former East Pittsburgh police officer Michael Rosfeld 'not guilty' in the shooting death of Antwon Rose, Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto said in a tweet that he grieves "with Antwon's family, friends, and the entire community."
Tonight I grieve with Antwon's family, friends, and the entire community. Words cannot heal the pain so many are feeling. Only action can begin the process, a process that will take work & understanding.(Part 1 of 2)
