MONROEVILLE, Pa. (AP) — Authorities say a 3-year-old girl died in what is believed to have been an accidental shooting in a western Pennsylvania apartment. Allegheny County police said officers in Monroeville were called to the Cambridge Square Apartments shortly after 9 p.m. Friday and found the victim with a single gunshot wound. The Allegheny County medical examiner’s office said she died of a head wound and ruled the death a homicide.

If you were driving through the area of 16th street and 5th Avenue in New Brighton around 7:30 this morning, chances are you had to dodge flying metal. Sheet metal being stored outdoors went loose from a building and became a threat to those in the area. 3 people were struck trying to move pieces of the metal and one mans’ car was hit while he was driving through. No injuries occurred. One sheet of metal that was approximately 25 feet long made it to the next block. Borough, police, and citizens help move the metal into the building when it was unlocked around 25 minutes later and the area is now open and clear.
