McIntire was the chief of the Brackenridge Police Department and was killed in the line of duty on Jan. 2.
The fundraiser was hosted by the Tarentum Borough Police Department. They said all of the proceeds were given to the McIntire family.
There were 1,000 shirts available at the sale. All were sold.
One of the volunteers at the fundraiser said a line wrapped all the way around the Tarentum Borough Building at 6 a.m. and only continued to grow. Shirts were available for purchase at 9 a.m. but were gone in around an hour.
“It’s very humbling to see how many people are willing to support Chief Justin McIntire and other law enforcement officers. I like to think we live in a pretty pro-police community so it’s nice to see everyone come out and support,” said Shelby Fischbach, a volunteer.
Flags, decals, stickers and bracelets were also available for purchase.
The department is taking pre-orders for another batch of shirts. They are hoping to have that order completed soon.
