At Rest

Suicide
Charlie Post took narcotics and other drugs before he ambushed Lower Burrell Patrolman Derek Kotecki, according to a Westmoreland County Coroner's report. Police said Kotecki, 40, was looking for Post in regard to the shooting of another man several days earlier when police got a tip Post was in an SUV in the Dairy Queen parking lot. As Kotecki approached the SUV in which Post hid, Post fired numerous times through a closed window, killing Kotecki. Post then got out of the SUV and ran to the rear of the parking lot and shot and killed himself.
This record exists so that Charles Arthur Post, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
