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.

By RAHIM FAIEZ and KATHY GANNON Associated Press
U.S.military officials says two American soldier  were killed and six wounded in a so-called insider attack in eastern Afghanistan. U.S. officials say an Afghan dressed in an Afghan army uniform opened fire late Saturday in eastern Afghanistan’s Nangarhar province. Afghan officials said one Afghan soldier was also killed, and the gunman died in the assault. There have been numerous attacks by Afghan national army soldiers on their allied partners over 18 years of America’s protracted war in Afghanistan. Six U.S. service members have been killed in Afghanistan this year.  Last year, 22 U.S. service personnel died from “hostile” action.

China’s virus death toll surpasses SARS but new cases fall
By JOE McDONALD Associated Press
China’s death toll from the new virus outbreak has risen by 89 to 811, surpassing the number of fatalities in the 2002-2003 SARS epidemic, as other governments step up efforts to block the disease. Some 2,656 new cases were reported, fewer than on the previous day, something experts see as a sign the virus’s spread may be slowing. SARS killed 774 people and sickened 8,098, mainly in mainland China and Hong Kong. Elsewhere, France closed two schools after five British visitors contracted the virus at a ski resort. Malaysia, South Korea and Vietnam reported one new case each. Six more cases were reported on a quarantined cruise ship.
