TribLive said 16 jurors are seated for Johnathan Morris in the killing of Officer Sean Sluganski. WPXI spelled the name Jonathan. KDKA and CBS Pittsburgh dated the call Feb. 7.

Johnathan, and Jonathan, are not the same spelling. Beemer, and Beeemer, are not the same spelling. Testimony Monday, opening statements next Monday, and a trial expected to begin Monday, are not the same step. Feb. 6, and Feb. 7, are not the same day. A jury seated to hear a case is not a verdict.

TribLive, by Paula Reed Ward, reported sixteen jurors have been seated to hear the case against the man accused of killing a McKeesport police officer nearly four years ago. It reported the panel of 12 jurors and four alternates will begin hearing testimony Monday in the prosecution of Johnathan Morris, that the trial is expected to last through November, and that Allegheny County Common Pleas Judge Bruce Beemer is presiding. Sixteen, and 12 plus four, are the same arithmetic, and both lines are on that page. Her earlier TribLive story says jury selection began Monday, that the trial is expected to begin Nov. 9 before Judge Bruce Beeemer and last three weeks, and that the court is expected to seat 12 jurors and four alternates. Beemer, and Beeemer, are not the same spelling. Have been seated, and is expected to seat, are not the same status. Testimony Monday, and a trial expected to begin Nov. 9, are not the same step. Through November, and three weeks, are not the same length. Nov. 9, 2026, is a Monday. WPXI, by Gabriella DeLuca, November 2, 2026, at 6:51 p.m. EST, reported jury selection began Monday and spelled the defendant Jonathan Morris. Jonathan, and Johnathan, are not the same spelling. It reported jury selection is expected to continue, with opening statements scheduled for next Monday morning, and that the trial is expected to last several days. Opening statements, and testimony, are not the same step. Several days, three weeks, and through November, are not the same length. Nov. 2, 2026, was a Monday. Next Monday from that story is Nov. 9. Nearly three years, on WPXI, and nearly four years ago, on both TribLive stories, are not the same phrase for a February 2023 shooting. KDKA Radio, by Kaylin Davis, Nov. 6, 2026, at 11:45 a.m. ET, reported a jury has been selected and that the trial is expected to begin Monday and could last several weeks. It spells Johnathan Morris. It does not print 16, 12, or four. Several weeks, and through November, are not the same length. CBS Pittsburgh, by Mike Darnay, updated November 6, 2026, at 8:18 a.m. EST, reported the trial will begin next week and is expected to begin Monday and last for at least several weeks. That update does not say the jury has been seated. At least several weeks, and several weeks, and several days, are not the same length. A jury seated on the Friday TribLive story, a jury selected with no number on KDKA, selection expected to continue on the Nov. 2 WPXI story, and an 8:18 a.m. CBS update that does not say the panel is seated, are not the same status.

The Friday TribLive story reported Morris, 34, is charged with criminal homicide, two counts of attempted homicide, two counts of aggravated assault and firearms counts stemming from the Feb. 6, 2023, shooting of Officer Sean Sluganski. The earlier story uses the same charge list and says the February 2023 shooting, then says Allegheny County Police detectives said Morris killed Sluganski on Feb. 6, 2023, on Grandview Avenue in McKeesport just after noon. CBS Pittsburgh reported prosecutors initially said they would seek the death penalty against Morris, who faces a lengthy list of charges, including criminal homicide and murder of a law enforcement officer of the first degree. Criminal homicide, two counts of attempted homicide, two counts of aggravated assault, and firearms counts, on TribLive, and criminal homicide and murder of a law enforcement officer of the first degree, on CBS Pittsburgh, are not the same charge list. The Friday story says Morris’ mother, former McKeesport police officer Candace Tyler, called 911 the morning of Feb. 6, 2023, to report that her son was having a “PTSD episode,” and was being aggressive toward her. KDKA reported that on February 7th, 2023, Morris’ mother called 911 and reported her son suffered from PTSD and was being aggressive toward her. CBS Pittsburgh reported that on Feb. 7, 2023, police said they were called when Morris’ mother reported that her son suffered from PTSD and was being aggressive towards her. Feb. 6, and Feb. 7, and February 7th, are not the same date line. Feb. 6, 2023, was a Monday. Feb. 7, 2023, was a Tuesday. Toward, on TribLive and KDKA, and towards, on CBS Pittsburgh, are not the same spelling. A “PTSD episode,” on the Friday TribLive story, a domestic dispute, on the earlier TribLive story, a mental health crisis, on KDKA and CBS Pittsburgh, and a severe PTSD episode, on WPXI, are not the same description of the call. The earlier TribLive story prints Wilson Street, Grandview Avenue, just after noon, and 12:21 p.m., when it says Sluganski radioed that Morris was walking on Sumac Street near Craig Street. The Friday story prints Sumac Street near Craig Street and does not print Wilson Street, Grandview Avenue, just after noon, or 12:21 p.m. The earlier story prints “Four minutes later.” with a period, then “Sluganski said, Morris was running.” The Friday story prints “Four minutes later, Morris was running.” A period and an attribution to Sluganski, and a comma with no attribution, are not the same sentence. The earlier story says detectives said Thomas returned fire, striking Morris in the right leg, and that police said Morris fired six shots, and that Morris said he fired two shots. Two shots, in that account of what he told detectives, and six shots, in the police account, are not the same number, and both are on that page. The Friday story prints six shots and “hit in the leg.” It does not print two shots, and it does not print the right leg. CBS Pittsburgh reported police said when officers found Morris, he pulled out a gun and opened fire, hitting and killing Sluganski and injuring another officer, and that Morris was injured in an exchange of gunfire with a third officer. His partner, another officer, and a third officer are all on that page. They are not the same count of people. A third officer, on CBS Pittsburgh, and Thomas’s return fire, on TribLive, are not the same account of who shot Morris. KDKA says he allegedly pulled out a gun and opened fire when the officers found him, and that he is accused of wounding partner Chuck Thomas. It does not print Officer before that name. The Friday TribLive story says Officer Chuck Thomas, in a patrol vehicle, radioed that shots had been fired, returned fire, and was struck in the face, and that Sluganski, 32, was struck in the torso and just under his left clavicle and died a short time later at a hospital. WPXI says Sluganski was killed and Thomas was wounded but survived. It does not print the face, the torso, or the clavicle. The CBS Pittsburgh caption under the booking photograph reads “Johnathan Morris, 32,” and “McKeesport Office Sean Sluganski.” Age 32, in that caption, and age 34, on both TribLive stories, are not the same age. Office, in that caption, and Officer, in the CBS headline and on TribLive, are not the same word. KDKA and WPXI do not print an age.

The Friday TribLive story reported Morris, who has remained in custody since that day, is expected to present a mental health defense, and that his attorneys, Carmen Robinson and Elbert Gray, filed notice of their intent two years ago. It says they said he has diagnoses of schizophrenia, chronic post-traumatic stress disorder with paranoia and hypervigilance. The earlier story says those attorneys filed notice in September 2024 that they planned to pursue an insanity defense, citing the same diagnoses. A mental health defense, and an insanity defense, are not the same label. Two years ago, and September 2024, are not the same date line. The Friday story says he served in the U.S. Marine Corps from 2013 to 2018, was deployed to Afghanistan, developed PTSD, received treatment in the military, and was honorably discharged. The earlier story says the defense has said he served from 2013 to 2018 and was deployed to Afghanistan, and then says he developed PTSD, received treatment, and was honorably discharged. “The defense has said,” and a sentence with no attribution, are not the same sourcing. KDKA, WPXI, and CBS Pittsburgh do not print the Marine Corps, the years, or Afghanistan. The Friday story says Allegheny County District Attorney Stephen A. Zappala Jr. initially said he would seek the death penalty against Morris but reversed course in April, days after receiving the defendant’s psychiatric records. The earlier story says he filed notice that he would seek the death penalty, that in April the prosecutor’s office reversed course, and, in a later sentence, that the office had received the psychiatric records just days earlier. Said he would seek, and filed notice, are not the same step. Days after, inside the Friday sentence, and just days earlier, in a separate sentence of the earlier story, are not the same placement. CBS Pittsburgh says the intention to seek the death penalty was later rescinded. It does not print April, and it does not print the records. KDKA and WPXI do not print the death penalty. The Friday story says that after treatment for the gunshot wound he was taken to Torrance State Hospital for a mental health evaluation. The earlier story says the same. KDKA, WPXI, and CBS Pittsburgh do not print Torrance. No page used here reports a verdict. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
