PITTSBURGH — Ten goats and a donkey that were helping to clear vines and weeds in a Pittsburgh park were quickly corralled after they got loose from their enclosure.

An Allegheny County 911 supervisor said the animals were reported loose in the city’s Brighton Heights neighborhood early Tuesday. They were rounded up, and no damage to any property was reported.

A post on the Allegheny GoatScape Facebook page indicates the goats had been in the park for about a week helping to clear vegetation.

[naviga:h3]Lawyer says police intimidated client[/naviga:h3]

PITTSBURGH — An attorney for a black man shot by one of three white police officers involved in a 2012 traffic stop told a federal jury his client was wrongly “intimidated,” “threatened,” “terrorized” and “ultimately paralyzed” in closing arguments of a civil rights lawsuit.

Officers David Derbish and Anthony Miller face potential liability for the injuries suffered by 24-year-old Leon Ford.

Paul Krepps, the officers’ attorney, defended their actions, saying Derbish shot Ford during a frantic 7-second interval when Ford’s car drove forward as the officer struggled to pull Ford from the vehicle.
