[naviga:h3]Supplies are flown to Puerto Rico[/naviga:h3]

PITTSBURGH — A Carnegie Mellon student disturbed by stories from her native Puerto Rico following Hurricane Maria decided to do something about it

Rosana Guernica, 22, a junior majoring in decision science, heard stories about people getting off the island by chartering a private plane, so she got the idea of raising money for a plane to bring in medical supplies and evacuate sick people.

On Oct. 4, she brought 1,000 pounds of supplies to the island and brought back six evacuees.

And Carnegie Mellon said Saturday that Guernica “is on her second trip to Puerto Rico today with a team of CMU volunteers.”

They hope to get 2,000 pounds of supplies to difficult-to-access areas and bring back two dozen people who have urgent medical needs.

RANKIN — Police say a 12-year-old boy was wounded in an early morning drive-by shooting.

Allegheny County police say officers in Rankin were dispatched to the Hawkins Village housing area just before 3:30 a.m. Sunday. The wounded boy was taken to a hospital and listed in stable condition.

Detectives said the shots were apparently fired from a dark-colored sport utility vehicle or crossover that then fled the scene.

Police said the motive for the shooting is unclear and there was no immediate information about a suspect.
