PA Woman Killed After Rejecting Man In A Bar

  

Talton-Jackson, 29, was shot and killed in Homewood, Pittsburgh after leaving a bar, and the therm suspected of shooting her is now in jail after being shot by police.

Police responded to a ShotSpotter report that detected gunshots at N. Lang Avenue and Upland Street at around 1:50 a.m., Pittsburgh’s Action 4 News reported. During a traffic stop, the police encountered 41-year-old Charles McKinney in a silver vehicle. They had received a dispatch stating that a woman had been shot in the area, and upon hearing this, McKinney sped off.

The officers chased McKinney and shot at him. The chase came to an end after McKinney crashed into an unoccupied car that was parked. He was then arrested.

McKinney was charged with the victim’s homicide, as well as aggravated assault, possessing a firearm without a license, fleeing the police, possession with intent to deliver, reckless driving and reckless endangerment.

Authorities say that the incident began when McKinney attempted to talk to Talton-Jackson at a bar, but when she turned him down and left the bar, he followed her out and shot her in the chest.

“I just think it’s sad. Somebody has to do something about the gun control, it’s just getting out of hand and it just [isn’t] safe to walk the streets no more,” a man told KDKA.

Talton-Jackson was the sister of State House Rep. Ed Gainey, according to her Facebook page. He has yet to release a statement about her death.

Young Thieves Steal Atlanta Pastor’s Car And Money From Church

  

Rev. Hebrew McDonald said he and some of the members were cleaning up after a dinner, when two young people came in. In the surveillance video Rev. McDonald says one appears to be 16 or 17 years old. He says the other one, who acted as the look out, appeared to be only 10 or 11 years old.

The preacher’s wife, Christine, says her purse was on a table in the Fellowship Hall. She said someone went into her purse, took the money out of her wallet, and then took the car keys. The keys went to her husband’s 2011 Hyundai Equus that was in the parking lot.

They came into the Lord’s house and came in here and stole stuff out of the Lord’s house and then they stole the pastor’s car. So they’re going to get a double dose,” said Mrs. McDonald.

Rev. McDonald has been a preacher for more than 40 years. He said he’s mentored hundreds of children over the years. He said it’s sad to see these young kids going down the wrong path.

“If they don’t stop they’re going to go in someone’s house, they’re going to steal from them, they’re going to carjack someone, and ultimately they’re either going to kill somebody or get killed,” said Rev. McDonald.
