  • It is CW Breitsman Assoc. in Gateway 3. They are a 3rd party benefits administrator.
  • a co-worker's wife used to work on that floor.  She knows the guy being held  hostage - apparently he is the owner of the company. His kids work for him as well.

    His postings are crazy...anyone else read them?  Some of the responses are worse and the police chief said people posting encouraging his behavior could face charges.

    My DH works in the Highmark building.

  • My question is why they released his full name without the situation being over. Of course, people are going to search....that's what he wants:  attention

  • They announced it on the radio that he was posting on his FB page. So you know every yinzer within ear shot was all "I'll go on FB and talk him down'. I am disgusted that the radio announcer said that.
  • They finally disabled his facebook page.  I can't believe people were telling him to keep it up.  Also I just read in one of my FB friend's posts that someone is trying to compare him to Tryvone Martin!
