Rose, 17, was fatally shot by East Pittsburgh police while fleeing a traffic stop Tuesday. Allegheny County officials say the car in which he was a passenger was stopped because it matched the description of a vehicle fleeing the scene of an earlier reported shooting in North Braddock. Allegheny County investigators reported there were guns on the floor of the car, but Rose was unarmed as he fled..@SummerForPA speaks about he violence in the Woodland Hills community. #AntwonRose went to school there, she speaks about him. 4th days of protests for Rose, who was shot and killed by police pic.twitter.com/yQmCvCl4g7
