State Police continue to investigate a fatal shooting in the city of Washington last night and troopers have told our news partners at WPXI that no weapon was found on Eduardo Hoover Jr. of Corapolis, who was shot and killed by police officers Sunday night. Troopers say the police chase began in Mt. Pleasant and after a nearly 18 mile pursuit, he rammed his vehicle into police cruisers twice and officers fired. The incident played out shortly after six o’clock in the eleven-hundred block of Jefferson Avenue, which was then closed for several hours. According to state police, Hoover slowed down on Jefferson Avenue which allowed officers to get in front and behind his vehicle. He then stopped, put his truck in reverse and slammed into the front of a police car before driving forward and hitting a utility pole. After hitting the pole, Hoover put his truck into reverse again and sped toward the responding officers, prompting them to shoot at Hoover inside the vehicle. According to authorities, Hoover reportedly had an extensive criminal record dating back at least a decade and most recently had been charged with burglary and trespassing. (Photo: WPXI)
