Police: Man kills girlfriend, wounds woman at pizzeria

ERIE — Authorities say a man fatally shot his girlfriend and wounded another woman during a shooting at a restaurant in northwestern Pennsylvania.

Luis Rodriguez was arraigned Sunday on numerous charges, including felony counts of homicide and attempted homicide. It wasn’t known if he’s retained an attorney.

The charges against the 48-year-old Harborcreek man stem from a shooting Saturday at a pizzeria in Erie.

Police found the wounded woman at a store. She told them another woman had been shot at the pizzeria and said the shooter was that woman’s boyfriend.

Authorities say Rodriguez told them he knew his girlfriend was working at the restaurant. They say he was armed with a handgun when he confronted her and shot her in the head.

A motive for the shootings hasn’t been disclosed.
