Police: Hit-and-Run Vehicle Found
Erie – The Erie Police believe that they have impounded the vehicle that struck and killed 66-year-old Richard Gaska on December 9th. The suspect vehicle is a 2020 Durango, and in pictures appears to be colored by Dodge’s Redline paint. It was discovered in Harborcreek Township, and multiple warrants are to be served for a top-down investigation. Richard was killed at the intersection of West Eighth and Liberty Streets, and the driver of the vehicle fled the scene.

Post-Gazette to Close
Pittsburgh – The oldest print newspaper still running in Pennsylvania will be shutting down. Block Communications, the parent company of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, announced that the paper would cease being printed after nearly 240 years, with its final edition coming on May 3rd. The Pittsburgh Gazette is one of the longest-running papers in the United States, and the oldest in Pennsylvania. It was founded in 1786 and, in 1927, merged with the Pittsburgh Post to form the Post-Gazette. Block Communications claims that the paper was no longer profitable and had lost $350 million in the last 20 years.
In 2018, the Post-Gazette moved to a mostly online format and only offered print editions twice a week. Things became more tenuous during an extended strike after Block failed to honor portions of its contract with the paper’s union employees. Soon after multiple courts found in favor of the union workers, Block Publishing announced the closure during a remote meeting. Block Communications also shuttered the Pittsburgh City Paper, which stopped printing last week.
