TARENTUM, Pennsylvania (WTAE) — The effort to help the family of a fallen police chief continues this weekend. In fact, a T-shirt sale Saturday morning in Tarentum sold out before it even started.

The community waited in long lines wrapped around the block to buy T-shirts in honor of Brackenridge police Chief Justin McIntire, who was killed in the line of duty earlier this month.

The sales were supposed to start at 9:00 a.m. Saturday, but people were at the Tarentum Borough Building three hours before that, and they ran out of shirts before the official start time.

“There’s been an overpouring amount of support,” said volunteer Shelby Fischback. “We are taking pre-orders, and we are hoping to do further sales in the future.”

Because the shirts sold out, a sale set for Sunday will not happen. The next sale date is tentatively set for Sunday, Jan. 22.
