Always prune out an double or mutiple tops.  these are quite common, you want 
to leave one leader.  The exposed leader is often damaged, then mulitple 
laterals will try to become the leader, resulting in a multiple trunk tree.
  Shearing is cutting back lateral tip growth to get bushier trees,  I do not 
do this.
