(Collier Twp., Pa.) (AP Story) A federal official says a former neighbor of a U.S. Postal Service worker in Collier Twp. confessed that he fatally shot him while he was sitting in his mail truck along his route because he believed the mail carrier previously poisoned him and his family with cyanide. The acting U.S. attorney for the Western District of Pennsylvania says in a release that 53-year-old Eric Kortz turned himself in Thursday for the shooting death of Louis Vignone in Collier Township. Kortz told authorities that he and Vignone used to be neighbors, and he believes Vignone and his family poisoned Kortz and his family with cyanide. Kortz has been assigned a public defender.
