Pittsburg • Gunshots were fired overnight through the window of the attorney who defended a white police officer acquitted Friday in the shooting death of an unarmed black teenager.

But police around Pittsburgh said there were otherwise no reports of arrests or property damage following the verdict that left Antwon Rose II's family distraught but not surprised at the jury's decision, they said.

Patrick Thomassey told WTAE-TV he was called after midnight about the shots fired into the Monroeville building, which sits on a busy street in a residential area. Two bullet holes could be seen from outside and the window is taped up.
