(Aliquippa, PA) Over 150 snakes and a gator were taken from a home at 1325 McMinn Street Aliquippa, after a man was found dead on Tuesday. A majority of the snakes are said to be venomous. The cause of death of the man hasn’t been confirmed but the man was said to have at least one snake bite on him when he was found. The coroner told Beaver County Radio that it will likely be at least 6 to 8 week until a cause of death will be revealed. 4 adults were living in the home with a 3 year old girl. The reptiles were not allowed within the code of the city. The people were said to have moved to Aliquippa while pursuing a business of selling the reptiles. The maximum fine for violating the code laws is $1,000 per reptile.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pittsburgh Steelers have signed longtime Philadelphia Eagles guard Isaac Seumalo to a three-year, $24 million contract. Seumalo’s arrival fortifies the interior of the Steelers offensive line as Pittsburgh builds around second-year quarterback Kenny Pickett. The 29-year-old Seumalo started 60 games across seven seasons with the Eagles, who selected him in the third round of the 2016 draft. Seumalo appeared in 81 games in all for Philadelphia and won a Super Bowl with the Eagles following the 2017 season. Seumalo is considered an excellent run blocker, though he has improved in pass protection during his career. He allowed just one sack while playing 1,137 offensive snaps in 2022.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Norfolk Southern’s CEO is offering support for some parts of a bipartisan Senate bill to put tougher safety regulations on railroads. A fiery hazardous materials train derailed last month on the Ohio-Pennsylvania border. CEO Alan Shaw is under pressure from senators and federal safety regulators to step up his commitment to safety regulations as he appears before the Senate Commerce Committee on Wednesday. Shaw says in prepared remarks that Norfolk Southern will “support legislative efforts to enhance the safety of the freight rail industry. But he does not address several key provisions of the Railway Safety Act of 2023.
