Search warrant operations led by The Allegheny County Gun Violence Task Force have resulted in several arrests and confiscations of six guns, ammunition and accessories.

Attorney General Dave Sunday said the warrants were executed March 18 and March 19, about a month before the NFL Draft will take place April 23-25 in Pittsburgh, when numerous fans will assemble in western Pennsylvania for the annual event.
