EDGEWORTH — Authorities say a woman is dead and a man is injured after a jet ski they were riding went over a dam.

Officials say boaters pulled the two from the water Sunday afternoon near Dashields Dam in Edgeworth, just outside of Pittsburgh.

They were taken to a hospital where 24-year-old Melissa Mason of Aliquippa was pronounced dead. The condition of the man was unavailable Sunday night.

Allegheny County Police and the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission are investigating.

Dashields Dam is a fixed-crest dam with about a 10-foot drop.

EASTON — Officers shot and killed a black bear they said was roaming around the downtown area of Easton.Police Capt. Scott Casterline says the officers unsuccessfully tried several times to tranquilize the bear early Sunday and were concerned it would make its way into a residential neighborhood.Authorities say the bear was spotted twice on Saturday, prompting police to alert the Pennsylvania Game Commission. It was eventually spotted again near the Easton Public Library.Casterline says the bear wasn't an immediate threat to the public but it had become a public safety hazard because it was comfortable in populated areas.Police say the bear's carcass will be turned over to state wildlife officials.

GREENSBURG— A man who lost his 21-year-old daughter in the 1988 Lockerbie bombing says the death of the only person convicted in the case “is to a degree a relief.”“It had almost reached the point where I was surprised,” Glenn Johnson of Greensburg said Sunday about the death of Abdel Baset al-Megrahi. “He was supposed to live three months, got about three years.”The Libyan intelligence officer was jailed in 2001 for the bombing of the Pan Am flight over Scotland that killed 270 people. To the end, he insisted he had nothing to do with the bombing. His 2009 release and return home on humanitarian grounds due to prostate cancer — a diagnosis where he was told he had three months to live — drew condemnation from relatives of the victims.“As far as I'm concerned, it is to a degree a relief,” said Johnson, whose daughter, Beth Ann Johnson, was a Seton Hill College student returning from studying in London when the Pan Am airliner was brought down by a bomb.
