Andrew Joseph Conroy

Constable Andrew Conroy was shot and killed as he attempted to confiscate furniture from a home on Penn Avenue in Pittsburgh.

The tenant in the house had been ordered to release the furniture to be auctioned for a rent arrearage. When Conroy informed the man of the confiscation, he was fatally shot in the abdomen with a shotgun and died of his injuries in the home's hallway.

The suspect fled to a hospital across the street from his home, where he was taken into custody a short time later. He was convicted of voluntary manslaughter and sentenced to only 27 days in prison.

Constable Conroy was a U.S. Army veteran of WWI and had served with the Pennsylvania State Constables for eight years.

Constable Conroy,
On today, the 87th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice-not just as a Law Enforcement Officer but for our Country as well when you served with the U.S. Army during World War I. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.
