Armed man shot by police in North Strabane faces charges
A former state wrestling champion at Canon-McMillan High School aimed an AR-15 at officers before they shot him multiple times Sunday morning, state police say.
Logan Bradley Macri, 19, of 427 W. McMurray Road, now faces charges of aggravated assault, simple assault, terroristic threats, recklessly endangering another person, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct.
According to the criminal complaint, police from North Strabane and Canonsburg were dispatched to Macri’s residence at 2:30 a.m. Sunday following a report of a domestic assault.
Macri’s mother had been the one to contact police, the complaint states, and she told police that Macri was threatening her and others in the home with a firearm. She also told police she believed Macri may have been under the influence of drugs.
The complaint accuses Macri of wielding a handgun and a sword, both of which he allegedly used to strike his mother in the head and the arm. He also allegedly threatened to kill others and burn down his home.
When police arrived at the residence, Macri was standing in the driveway and laid the AR-15 on the ground in front of him, according to the complaint.
Police said he also initially obeyed commands to put his hands up and lie down on his stomach.
“As the three officers approach (Macri), (Macri) suddenly stands up and grabs the firearm and points it in the direction of the three officers,” the complaint states.
The officers, two from North Strabane and one from Canonsburg, all fired their weapons and struck Macri multiple times, according to the complaint.
Macri allegedly continued to resist arrest and an officer used a Taser on him. Macri was handcuffed and flown to a Pittsburgh hospital for treatment.
In March 2018, Macri won the PIAA Class AAA 120-pound title at the Giant Center in Hershey. He was a four-time state qualifier and WPIAL Champion with a career record of 152-30.
Macri originally committed to the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga but was given his release when the head coach left.
Macri has yet to be arraigned, and a preliminary hearing has not been scheduled.
