Woman claims injury by DJ
PITTSBURGH — A Pittsburgh woman is suing a nightclub where she says a disc jockey’s failed attempt at crowd surfing fractured her pelvis.
Varsha Doggala says in Wednesday’s lawsuit that the DJ landed on her after jumping 6 to 10 feet from a stage at Static Nightclub last July.
She’s seeking damages in excess of $35,000 from the Strip District nightclub.
Static didn’t answer calls for comment.
Investigating officer shoots pit bull
NEW CASTLE — Authorities say a police officer shot and wounded a pit bull after it bit his partner as the two investigated a burglar alarm Thursday.
The Shenango Township officers found a door open with no one home. They went inside and were met by the dog, which lunged and bit one officer twice.
The homeowner took the animal to a veterinarian. The officer was taken to a hospital. No other information was available.
