Police Officer Michael Crawshaw Penn Hills Police Department - End of Watch: Sunday, December 6, 2009  Officer Michael Crawshaw, Penn Hills Police Department, was shot and killed by ambush while responding to a disturbance call on Johnston Road in the municipality of Penn Hills, near Pittsburgh about 8:30pm Sunday. Officer Crawshaw was the first officer to arrive on the scene and had parked several houses away to wait for backup. As he waited he reported to dispatchers that he heard gunfire from inside the home and he then unholstered his weapon. Moments later a suspected exited the home and immediately opened fire with an AK-47, fatally striking Officer Crawshaw several times as he was still sitting in his patrol car. The suspect fled the scene but was apprehended later. A preliminary investigation determined the suspect had gone to the home collect on a drug debt and had murdered an occupant of the home prior to opening fire on Officer Crawshaw. Officer Crawshaw had served with the Penn Hills Police Department for 2 1/2 years. He had previously served with the University of Pittsburgh Police Department. Officer Crawshaw is survived by his parents and a brother. To whom ever this may concern, Hi my name is Patrick S Jennings Jr. I am 18 years old. In April after the shootings of the 3 Pittsburgh Police whom bravely lost there lives, I was sitting in my bedroom with nothing to do so I wrote a poem about them. Another reason I did this is because my father and my uncle are both in law enforcement and I don't know what I would do if I lost either of them. But I hope you like this. If you do please let me know. Its called Officer Down Officer Down. Officer Down, Officer Down. That man there lying on the ground, But what did he do, Was it because his job was to protect me and you, In his hours of duty, He served to protect, But little did he know his last hours would be heck, When he knocked on the door, The gun shots rang, Hearts and souls crushed in Pittsburgh that day, So many tears shed, And yet they lay dead, But instead of going home, And going to bed, They went straight to heaven, To see what God said, But after such a tragedy, As you can see, It took something like this for you to meet me. -Patrick Steven Jennings Jr.
