Mt. Lebanon Police say it appears that a local teenager may have tried to kill his former girlfriend before attempting to kill himself by jumping in front of a Port Authority trolley car during rush hour.
According to police, the boy allegedly had beat the girl in the head with a hammer in a nearby wooded area after she broke up with him earlier in the day. Police say he asked the girl to meet him. She was able to flee and get help from neighbors. She was taken to Children's Hospital with head injuries.
Update: The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette has posted an article containing the names and pictures of the two people involved in this incident last night.

How very sad for the families of both of the children. I hope that they both recover and are able to work through this most difficult time. It is also my wish that the Mt. Lebanon community will support both sets of parents without laying blame
Our thoughts and prayers are with both families.
Although there aren't many details available about this incident yet, I can't help but feel this is eerily similar to the recent murder of the cheerleader in Monroeville. Isolated incidents I am sure, but troubling nonetheless.
