By Bryant Reed, CBS Pittsburgh December 12, 2021 Getting guns off of the street and out of harm's way was what community members in Rankin were trying to do on Saturday with a gun buyback event. They're also aiming to prevent unnecessary violence. Instead of finding the same guns with markers on them at crime scenes, on Saturday, police put the decision in the hands of the public to get rid of unneeded firearms.
