(FORTUNE Magazine) – Ten police recruits who were dismissed from ((Pittsburgh's)) Public Safety Training Academy for failing a firearms test will be retrained and retested under a tentative agreement struck yesterday . . . Attorneys for the city and the recruits said the agreement will allow the 10 -- four white women, four black women, and two black men -- to continue training . . . The recruits were dismissed earlier this month after they failed to score the minimum 75% . . . on the firearms test, which involved shooting at silhouette targets . . . Paul D. Boas, attorney for the recruits, had argued that because ((they)) were either blacks or women, their dismissals constituted race and sex discrimination . . . Boas said the recruits were disadvantaged because white men generally have more experience with firearms. -- From a news report in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
