Good morning, this is Pittsburgh Local Pulse for March 4, 2025.
We're starting with some breaking news from overnight. A deadly crash occurred in Georges Township, Fayette County, just after 9 PM yesterday. Sadly, 24-year-old Tyler Shaffer was pronounced dead at the scene, and several others were injured. Pennsylvania State Police are investigating the incident.
In city news, Pittsburgh's cybersecurity job market is booming. With over 1,500 unfilled positions predicted and a projected 40% job growth, opportunities abound for those looking to enter the field. Companies like PNC and UPMC are investing heavily in cybersecurity, offering competitive salaries exceeding $120,000 annually for roles such as Security Analyst and Network Security Engineer.
On the weather front, we're in for a warm day. Temperatures are expected to reach highs not seen since early February, making it perfect for outdoor activities. However, keep an eye on the forecast as we might see some changes later in the week.
In community news, hundreds of Pittsburghers rallied yesterday in support of Ukraine as the conflict there enters its fourth year. The gathering highlighted the city's solidarity with the Ukrainian people and called for continued support.
On the cultural scene, Pittsburgh Today Live is back with hosts David Highfield and Heather Abraham. They'll be discussing the latest happenings and previewing upcoming events in the city. Speaking of events, monster truck fans should mark their calendars as Monster Jam is set to bring high-flying action to Acrisure Stadium later this year.
In sports, local teams are gearing up for spring competitions. High school athletes are particularly excited as they prepare for upcoming tournaments and championships.
Now for our daily crime report. Police have arrested a Coraopolis man, Markus Gilmore, on charges of filming and distributing illicit videos of a minor. The investigation is ongoing, and authorities are urging anyone with information to come forward.
On a lighter note, Page's Ice Cream Shop has announced they'll be opening for the season this Friday, March 7th. It's a sure sign that spring is just around the corner, and we can't wait to enjoy those first scoops of the season.
Lastly, a reminder that Pittsburgh Regional Transit riders should expect additional delays and detours this week due to overlapping construction projects. Plan your commute accordingly and check for updates before heading out.
This has been Pittsburgh Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
