2 mothers will stand trial in deaths of 5 kids

PITTSBURGH — The mothers of five children killed in a June 12 house fire were ordered to stand trial on involuntary manslaughter and other charges for leaving the youngsters alone while they went to a bar.

A district judge on Friday found there was sufficient evidence against Shakita Mangham and Furaha Love, both 25, for them to be tried on five counts of involuntary manslaughter, as well as one count of making false reports to police.
