PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — A Pennsylvania man was charged in a shooting in Calhoun County, West Virginia, that killed two and injured two others.
Noah Tribioli, of Columbia, is accused of killing two people and wounding two others in the Saturday morning shooting in Grantsville, The Parkersburg News and Sentinel reported.
The newspaper reported that law enforcement was called to reports of a shooting off Pine Creek Road around 8:30 a.m. on Saturday.
West Virginia State Police told the newspaper that when law enforcement officers arrived at the scene, they found Jodee Tribioli, of Grantsville, and Carole Heagy, of Mount Gretna, Pennsylvania, deceased from apparent gunshot wounds. Steve Tribioli, of Grantsville, and Claude Heagy, of Mount Gretna, were reportedly found with gunshot wounds and taken to local hospitals for treatment.
The Parkersburg News and Sentinel reported that 28-year-old Noah Tribioli was identified as the suspect. He was taken into custody by law enforcement in Fayette County, West Virginia, later that day.
He was arraigned on first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder, malicious wounding and attempting to commit felony charges. He was taken to the Southern Regional Jail in West Virginia and denied bond, the newspaper reported.
State police told The Parkersburg News and Sentinel that Steve Tribioli was last listed in critical condition and Claude Heagy was last listed in stable condition. The suspect was reportedly the son of Steve Tribioli.
The investigation into the shooting continues.
Mount Gretna is in Lebanon County, Pennsylvania. Columbia is in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.

Officials react to Pennsylvania abortion ruling, Medicaid ban struck down
A Pennsylvania court ruling is reshaping abortion access in the state, striking down a decades-old ban on using Medicaid to pay for abortions and declaring that the Pennsylvania Constitution guarantees a right to abortion.
The decision came Monday from the state’s Commonwealth Court. In a 4-3 vote, judges ruled in favor of abortion rights in Pennsylvania and invalidated the state’s restriction on Medicaid-funded abortions.
Local abortion-rights advocates praised the ruling as a major step toward protecting access for low-income residents. Adrienne Daily, co-founder of Johnstown for Choice, said, “Everybody should have the right to that. If you restrict the coverage, you’re obviously discriminating against those that have lower income.”
Opponents of abortion rights called the decision a dramatic expansion of the court’s power and warned it will force taxpayers to pay for procedures they oppose. Michael Geer, president of the Pennsylvania Family Institute, said, “Taxpayers now in Pennsylvania will have no choice under this court ruling to fund abortions. And there are many, many millions of Pennsylvanians who think abortion is wrong. It’s the taking of an innocent human life and to force taxpayers who conscientiously object to abortion to then fund it is just plain wrong.”
Abortion-rights advocates pushed back, arguing abortion access is healthcare and a personal decision. Daily said, “This is a family issue. This is a personal issue. This is a bodily autonomy issue.”
Pro-life leaders also warned the ruling could have broader implications for other abortion-related laws. Geer said, “It is sweeping and there’s no question it’s judicial overreach.” He added, “If this ruling stands, it will invite attacks on every remaining pro-life safeguard that has been put into law by lawmakers at the behest to the people of Pennsylvania over decades.”
The case could still be appealed to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. That decision lies with Republican Attorney General Dave Sunday. His office has not provided a response, but the Associated Press reported a spokesperson said the office is reviewing the decision and did not say whether it will appeal.

Wu-Tang Clan member opens clothing store in Pennsylvania
Johnstown, Pa. (WJAC) — The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame just released this year’s list of inductees, and a new clothing store just opened in the Johnstown Galleria.
What do these two things have in common?
If you grew up listening to 90’s hip-hop, then you’re probably familiar with the Wu-Tang Clan.

They said, “We’re in the building right now, we’re out in Johnstown making it happen, fashion and rapping, and Wu-Tang, you already know Wu-Tang is the witty, unpredictable talent and natural game. So, it’s all grassroots with us, man. We do everything from scratch.”
They’re being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year, and Darryl Hill, aka Cappadonna, and manager Al “Heck” Felder are opening the Pillage, a clothing store in the Johnstown Galleria, selling apparel with a purpose.
Cappadonna said, “‘Cappadonna,’ that stands for ‘Consider All Poor People Acceptable, Don’t Oppress Nor Neglect Anyone,’ and we stand on that.”
They were introduced to mall owner Leo Karruli through Mustafa Curry, a childhood friend from New York, who owns a store on Main Street in Johnstown.
Heck said, “BK Styles, I’ve got to give a shout out to my boy, Mustafa. They’ve got some apparel down there, too. We’re all over. We’re spreading the word and we’re spreading the love.”

Their other clothing line, Angry Elephant, promotes being good stewards of the Earth, with a portion of the proceeds protecting the animals from poachers.
They said they believe in always putting God and family first.
Cappadonna said, “When you recognize the God in us, then you can see the God in you.”
They said they want kids to know that violence is not the answer, and it doesn’t cost anything to be kind.
Cappadonna said, “We just want to say that it’s nice to be important, but it’s even more important to be nice.”

A mother and her six children died when their Central Pennsylvania home exploded and caught on fire Sunday morning, state police said.
The explosion and fire happened at around 8:30 a.m. at a home on Long Run Road in Lamar Township, Clinton County, which is roughly 35 miles from State College. Crews arrived on the scene and found the home fully engulfed in flames, with the mother and her six children trapped.
