Governor Wolf Calls For New Gun Law

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) – Gov. Tom Wolf is urging the passage of a law in Pennsylvania requiring gun owners to report stolen or lost firearms, suggesting it could have prevented last week’s  wounding of six Philadelphia police officers during a long standoff.  Wolf made the comments Tuesday during his regular appearance on KDKA-AM radio in Pittsburgh.  He says Pennsylvania needs a stolen or lost guns reporting requirement so that people like the accused shooter in Philadelphia can’t illegally get a hold of a long gun.  Maurice Hill is charged with attempted murder,  assault and other counts. He’s accused of shooting at officers who were serving a drug warrant Wednesday and then keeping police at bay while he fired from inside a house.  The six officers were released after being treated at hospitals.
