PITTSBURGH (KDKA) - New details emerged Saturday regarding the suspect in Thursday's deadly shooting in broad daylight in Downtown Pittsburgh.

New weapons charges have been filed against Collington in connection to a SWAT situation back in December.

According to a new criminal complaint, police said Collington was one of 16 people removed from an Airbnb along Brighton Road.
When patted down, police said he didn't have a weapon on him, but surveillance footage from inside, and posts from Collington's Facebook account, showed him with a short-barrel rifle.
That rifle was later found inside a dresser in a bedroom of that Airbnb.
As a minor, Collington was not permitted to carry a firearm and was already caught with one back in 2021.
