Coroner: Port Allegany man died of single gunshot fired by Trooper

The Port Allegany man who allegedly opened fire on Pennsylvania state police Monday as they attempted to serve an arrest warrant on him died of a single gunshot wound to the head. That’s according to the autopsy report of 42-year-old Chad Setzer of Route 155. McKean County District Attorney Stephanie Vettenburg-Shaffer also released new information. She said when the exchange of gunfire began, there were five state troopers on scene along with a Port Allegany officer. One trooper fired a single, fatal head shot. Meanwhile, McKean County Coroner Mike Cahill issued a statement to address some rumors. Cahill said Setzer was shot from the front, dispelling rumors that the suspect was running away at the time. Troopers were attempting to arrest Setzer after he allegedly threatening the life of another man.
