BUENA VISTA, Pennsylvania (AP) -- A 13-year-old girl used a shotgun to
fatally shoot her father in the head early Monday in a home overrun
with animals and filth, police said.
The girl told investigators she used a 12-gauge shotgun to shoot
34-year-old Matthew Booth in the face while he was in bed, according
to a police affidavit.
A police complaint did not identify a motive in the killing, but her
mother, Michelle Fazek, who was separated from Booth, said she had
complained several times to county child welfare officials that her
daughter and her brother, 14, were living in squalor and that her
daughter had been abused.
"I just want to see her," Fazek said. "She must be so scared."
Messages left for Allegheny County's Office of Children, Youth and
Families were not immediately returned.
The Associated Press does not identify victims of possible sexual
abuse.
The girl appeared in municipal court late Monday wearing a maroon
county jail uniform, her hands and ankles cuffed, where she was
charged as an adult with criminal homicide and ordered held without
bail.
The house in Elizabeth Township, about 20 miles southeast of
Pittsburgh was in deplorable condition, police said.
"They had a number of animals, dogs, cats and rabbits. They hadn't
cleaned up after them," said James Morton, assistant superintendent of
Allegheny County Police. The two-story frame house had dirty, peeling
white siding, and a downstairs window was boarded up.

Good for you hon ... why'd you wait so long to
blow his head off ?
Any decent judge will drop all charges.
"Guns are made for killing people" ? Seems
that some people NEED shooting, don't they ?
And skip that "she should have gone to the
authorities" crap. Her mom DID - and they
weren't interested.
