Twelve years ago, on April 4, 2009, three Pittsburgh Bureau of Police officers from Zone 5 were killed in the line of duty. Officers Eric Kelly, Stephen Mayhle... and Paul Sciullo answered a call without question or hesitation and ended up making the ultimate sacrifice that day. They will never be forgotten by their brother and sister officers and the residents of Pittsburgh for their courage, selflessness and dedication.
