Preliminary hearing reveals details in fatal Stroud Twp. shooting
Following a March 3 preliminary hearing, Randy Halterman will face charges of murder and attempted murder in a case that has sparked debate on self-defense and the castle doctrine in Pennsylvania.
According to the case affidavit, Frailey told police that the couple happened upon Halterman’s building as they were walking along Paradise Trail on the way to explore the remains of the abandoned Penn Hills Resort.
Frailey said they assumed the structure, which they had seen on previous excursions and was surrounded by garbage and debris, was abandoned.
After Schultz called out to ask if anyone was inside and received no response, the pair entered the building to explore, finding even more garbage and debris. The couple explored inside for 20 to 25 minutes, and Schultz called to Frailey to join him on a second-floor catwalk that led to an open door.

Tom lives and works in a border county in New York, where his job sometimes requires him to work in a health care setting. In January, when he learned he qualified for the COVID-19 vaccine, he tried and failed to get an appointment in the Empire State.

“And sometimes it’s just really hard work,” said Napoli, Grounds For Sculpture horticulturalist.
On a cold and dreary Monday, when the ground was wet and still partially snow-covered, gardening was decidedly hard work.
Napoli was leading a handful of determined and aspiring gardeners, all wearing masks, of course, in a workshop at Grounds For Sculpture a 42-acre sculpture park and museum in Hamilton on learning how to cut back grasses and plants in preparation for Spring. And it wasn’t a level playing field.
All the work this day was done by Napoli, Grounds For Sculpture assistant horticulturalists and volunteers and members of the public who pre-registered and paid for the workshop.
