A costumed 9-year-old girl was accidentally shot after being mistaken for a skunk by a relative at a Halloween party Saturday night. This all happened in New Sewickley Township in Western PA. The girl was over a hillside and wearing a black costume with a black hat and a white tassel. The male relative thought she was a skunk and fired a shotgun, hitting her in the shoulder with pellets. The little girl was alert and talked while being flown to a hospital in Pittsburgh about 30 miles away. There is no word on her current status. The man had not been drinking and police don't know yet if charges will be filed.

National Weather Service officials from State College, PA have confirmed that an EF-1 tornado did touch down near Paradise, PA on Friday evening between 8:10 and 8:20. The tornado damage was within a large area of straight line wind damage that extended from Fern Glen Township to Paradise Township. It was about 16 miles long and 200 yards wide. 15 people were injured when a pavilion collapsed at Paradise Park. Winds up to 110 miles an hour damaged 2000-3000 trees.
