WEST MIFLIN, Pa. (AP) — A domestic dispute between a man and his mother ended when another man who was trying to calm the situation was shot and killed during a struggle over a gun. Authorities say 19-year-old Dante King faces a homicide charge in the death of 21-year-old Anthony Orosco. The shooting occurred late Saturday at the West Miflin home of King’s mother. Authorities say King got a gun during the dispute and, as he and Orosco fought to control the weapon, it went off and Orosco was shot once in the upper chest. Orosco was taken to a hospital but was pronounced dead there a short time later.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Authorities say a Pittsburgh man charged in the death of a 3-year-old girl told investigators he was sleeping next to the child with a loaded shotgun under his pillow and awoke to a loud bang and found her dead. Fifty-one-year-old Marlin Pritchard was charged Sunday with criminal homicide, child endangerment and weapons offenses in the death of the girl identified by a medical examiner as Chassity Clancy. Authorities said Pritchard told investigators he slept with the gun due to threats from others. Court documents don’t list a defense attorney; a listed number for Pritchard was busy during repeated calls Sunday.
