Trib: Man found dead in Mt. Lebanon home

Police found a man who barricaded himself inside a Mt. Lebanon home Saturday dead in a second-floor bedroom about four hours after they began urging him to come out.

Allegheny County real estate records show the home on Adeline Street is owned by Lawrence D. Carpico, a county homicide detective.

Mt. Lebanon police spokesman Aaron Lauth could not confirm the man`s identity. The Medical Examiner`s Office was waiting to notify next of kin before releasing any information.

Lauth said a member of the South Hills emergency response team entered the house with a key from a relative after hearing a gunshot.

Trib: Hospital staff 'a little shaken' by emergency room shooting

An elderly Mt. Lebanon man, who sought treatment in St. Clair Hospital's emergency department and said he felt sick, shot himself to death in a hospital bathroom Friday night, officials said.

The Allegheny County Medical Examiner's Office said on Saturday that Milton Levine, 88, of Bower Hill Road died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to his head.

"The whole thing is tragic, that an 88-year-old man would decide to end his life that way," hospital spokesman Rich Sieber said.
