: : : : : : : : : Has anyone heard about a shooting and death at the Homestead Hotel in Kittanning?
: : : : : : : : : I heard on the scanner about the police being called there cause someone was shooting a gun outside and aimed at someone inside. And of course that hasn't hit the Leader-Times yet.Not sure if it will anyway.
: : : : : : : I heard that they found (much after the original incident) that they found a victim upstairs. Did anyone hear about this? They had to use some extreme measures to remove the body?
: : : : : : When did this supposely happen at the Homestead? I work out in the public and no one has said anything about it today? But here's one I heard walking out of work tonight, I guess it just went over the scanner that there was Masked People at the Pizza Hut and Walmart and police was on their way there? Anybody know anything on this?
: : : : : A gentleman was found dead in his apartment yesterday, he had been there for a few days until he was found,there was no foul play, he had many health problems and some drug issues and died as a result of both
: : : : Thanks for the info.....It a shame what drugs can do to people.
: : :
: : : What drugs? I'm sick of everytime some kid does something goofy around here, they are automatically "on drugs". I think maybe it's YOU who needs to take a pill!
: : What in the hell are you talking about? You're not on the same page as the rest of us. We're talking about the person found dead at the Homestead, and yes he had a lengthy history of drug abuse. He also had major mental issues and those were from huffing and doing drugs since he was a teenager. He was burnt out, as the saying goes. So if anyone needs a pill, it is you.

: When I posted the reply there was nothing on the previous post about them finding a body. (At least I didn't notice it anyhow) My reply was in reponse to the "masked kids at Walmart" comment. When I read it, it went straight from the "Walmart" thing to the "shame what drugs can do" thing. I still haven't heard anything about a body at the Homestead. I just read the paper, but being as it's the Leader-Times it probably wouldn't be in there for about a week anyhow.
His obit was in the paper with no details. People that went to school with him always said he was messed up from sniffing airplane glue in high school. It's a shame what drugs will do to people.
