Two people in custody following another gun store robbery, this time in Marshall Township
An exclusive new video obtained by KDKA on Tuesday night showed the burglary at the Keystone Shooting Center in Marshall Township on Monday morning.
Two people are now in custody in connection with the burglary, one adult and one teenager.
The alarm went off at 5:44 a.m. and it was initially reported as a false alarm. However, when the manager discovered the break-in, it showed that the window was smashed in with a hammer and three people went into the store. One of them stayed behind to wait for them in a stolen car.
The suspects busted three glass cases and grabbed other guns right off the wall. In all, they stole 20 handguns, six semiautomatic AR-15 and AK-47-style rifles, and two suppressors. They also dropped five guns while leaving.
Six of them were reportedly recovered by law enforcement during a vehicle stop and a house search. Police uncovered plans to break into a second gun store in Allegheny County just 24 hours earlier.
"It's troubling," said Tom Westfall. "It just seems there's no way that anyone is able to stop it. They just keep doing it because they are not getting caught and they just keep bolder and bolder."
Police also believe they stopped a second plan to break into an Allegheny County gun store a day before. West Mifflin's police chief said on Sunday morning two teenagers were arrested trying to steal a car. A cell phone recovered in that arrest had Legion Arms in the GPS.
Police believe that stopped another break-in attempt. One of the kids was sent to Shuman Detention Center and the other was released.
An ATF spokesperson said they are looking into potential connections to other gun store burglaries in Bethel Park, Stoneboro, Mercer County, and near Youngstown, Ohio.
"Part of it is the juvenile correctional system and part of it is just parenting and how they're raised," said Westfall. "If there are no repercussions, then there is no reason for them to stop."
We've reached out to Allegheny County District Attorney about the recent gun store break-ins but we have been told he is not available to comment at this time, but added that the robberies are being investigated.

Man charged in fatal Platte County shooting
PLATTE CITY, Mo. (News-Press NOW) — A 34-year-old man has been charged with second-degree murder in the January shooting death of a Platte City sports reporter. County Prosecuting Attorney Eric Zahnd held a press conference Wednesday and announced that his office has charged Ruslan Huseynov with causing the death of 50-year-old Dennis Sharkey. Sharkey was a sports reporter for the local newspaper, the Platte County Citizen. Huseynov also faces charges of armed criminal action and unlawful use of a weapon. According to the Platte County Sheriff's office, the incident happened between 6:30 and 7 p.m. Jan. 10 on southbound Interstate 29 near Northwest 72nd Street. The sheriff's office investigated the incident early on as road rage. Investigators received information that Sharkey and another vehicle had stopped on the interstate and the suspect got out of his vehicle and fired a single shot in to Sharkey's vehicle. When Kansas City police officers responded to the area, they found Sharkey in his vehicle unresponsive and he appeared to have suffered a gunshot wound. He was transported to an area hospital and later pronounced dead. A search warrant related to data from Sharkey's phone showed communication on the night of the shooting with a cell phone tower near the location where an ATF canine found a single 9mm shell casing. That phone lead investigators to Huseynov's phone that was in a vehicle that stopped on I-29 around the time of the shooting, according to court documents. On Tuesday, authorities interviewed Huseynov and he allegedly confirmed his cellphone number denied owning a gun, according to court documents. However, a search warrant was executed at his residence and authorities located a 9mm Stoeger pistol in a safe in his bedroom. Court documents also said testing by the Kansas City Police Crime Laboratory confirmed that the shell casing located at the scene of the crime and the bullet, removed from Sharkey's body during the autopsy, were identified and verified. They allege the pistol recovered from Huseynov's bedroom was the weapon used. Huseynov is being held in the Platte County Jail without bond.
