State News-Monday, Nov. 6th

PITTSBURGH (AP) - A Presbyterian congregation in Pittsburgh held regular services yesterday for the first time since the suicide of its long-time pastor, who had been the focus of a local T-V news investigation. T-V station K-D-K-A was investigating Reverend Brent Dugan's personal life, which involved what the station calls "reports of public and illegal sexual behavior."

PITTSBURGH (AP) - Two college students are facing criminal charges after police say they tried to break into Heinz Field. Police say 21-year-old Paul Sudeep and 20-year-old Anand Durvasula attempted to climb the fence around the stadium this morning and were caught by surveillance cameras. Sudeep, a film student, was planning to film the final part of a music video featuring Durvasula at Heinz Field.


STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) - Penn State coach Joe Paterno broke his left leg and damaged a knee ligament when two players ran into him during the Nittany Lions' loss to Wisconsin. Paterno was injured yesterday during a 13-to-3 loss to the 17th-ranked Badgers. He fractured the top of his tibia, or shin bone. The injury typically heals on its own with rehabilitation, though doctors and team officials were considering whether surgery would help the leg heal faster. There was no determination whether Paterno could return to the sideline for Saturday's game at home against Temple, or monitor his team from the coach's box above the stands.

ALLENTOWN, Pa. (AP) - A judge says that autopsy results on an Easton police officer fatally shot last year in the police station by another officer will remain sealed. On Friday, Commonwealth Court Judge Mary Hannah Leavitt overturned a lower court ruling that had ordered Lehigh County Coroner Scott Grim to make the report a public record. The Morning Call of Allentown and The Express-Times in Easton had asked for the autopsy results. Officer Jesse Sollman was accidentally shot and killed March 25th 2005, in Easton police headquarters by officer Matthew Renninger. A grand jury in Harrisburg that investigated the shooting determined Renninger was negligent, but not criminally negligent, in the death. The jury recommended Renninger be fired. He retired in May.
