 GREENSBURG, Pa. (AP) - A state senator will stand trial on perjury and weapons charges stemming from the death of a 14-year-old neighbor who shot himself in the head with the senator's handgun.
Authorities have charged Sen. Robert Regola with lying under oath at a coroner's inquest into the death of Louis Farrell, who was friends with Regola's son. A coroner ruled Farrell's death a suicide.
Regola, 44, a freshman Republican, has said he kept his 9 mm Taurus handgun safely stored in his own bedroom.
