BEAVER FALLS (KDKA/AP) Police are searching for two 14-year-old boys, and reported a 13-year-old who are charged as adults with fatally shooting a Beaver Falls woman.
Beaver Falls police have charged Todavia Cleckley and Marcus Velasquez with criminal homicide and other charges in Saturdays shooting of 22-year-old Kayla Peterson. She was shot at a house about 3:30 p.m. that day and died at Allegheny General Hospital two hours later.

Used to watch “Our Gang” as a child. Is where first heard of Reform school. Did not know what it was but could tell the kids were afraid of it. In one scene a boy who was not of the little rascals was being sent to reform school by a judge. He and his parents were crying.
Oh how times have changed.
And here’s a hint for you; get a life.
I was actually happy to see that at least one reporter in the world can use the correct terminology.
Most handguns fall into two categories: revolvers and pistols. Most pistols are are semi-automatic.
“Daddy! You’re back from Peru! And we thought you had been run over by an elevator!” Bugs Bunny to While E. Coyote.
Actually, I’d agree that the meaning of “revolver” is clear enough. It’s a handgun with a revolving cylinder.
But the word pistol means any handgun, and does not necessarily exclude revolvers. It may also be used currently the other way, excluding revolvers. But that’s not its historical meaning.

I think of the old phrase, “pistol packin’ mama,” and I visualize a Colt revolver.
What ever happened to selling their indentures to a coal mine and letting them push a cart? We need THOSE kinds of places back.
Their fathers are the feral government. How many of them would not have come into existence if the baby mommas had not been enabled with free stuff?
People talk of reform schools but that was back before entire communities and generations went feral. The misguided yoots were separated from a society that was for the most part decent and lawful and didn't tolerate their predatory activities.
This is LBJ's "Great Society"... he can spend his eternity in it.
