County police said Durah, one of the people responsible for firing shots, is facing multiple charges, including 10 counts of aggravated assault and criminal attempt homicide of a law enforcement officer. 

On Feb. 27, Allegheny County police said a Pennsylvania Attorney General's Office agent and a McKees Rocks police officer with the Narcotics Task Force were in an unmarked vehicle following another vehicle when the people inside suddenly stopped on Lower Benwood Avenue, got out and fired shots. Police said the agent and officer returned fire.  

A second agent with the attorney general's office was shot at while following the suspect out of the neighborhood in another unmarked vehicle, police said.

The suspect vehicle was later recovered in Mt. Washington. 

No one was injured.
