This from the Pittsburgh Post Gazette. Please keep this family in prayer and prayer also the suspect can be quickly apprehended so no more loss of life and senseless tragedy need take place.
A Clairton woman was killed and her husband critically wounded in a shooting Sunday night in their residence.

An arrest warrant has been issued for a suspect, James Garland Watts, 42, of Clairton. He also is known to frequent McKeesport, police said. He is wanted on charges of homicide, attempted homicide and aggravated assault.
Investigators said the couple were wounded in their Baker Avenue home in a shooting reported at 9:58 p.m.
Ms. Lee was taken to UPMC Mercy where she was pronounced dead at 10:49 p.m., police said.
Her husband, 53-year-old David Lee, underwent emergency surgery, and he might not yet know the fate of his wife, police said.
Investigators said Mr. Watts is considered armed and dangerous. He is described as a black man, 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighing about 165 pounds with black hair and brown eyes.

Sound Training Announcement
March 20, 2008
Hello All,
I am planning a short seminar on running the new sound equipment for the church. This equipment is much improved over the previous system that served the congregation so well for so long. There are, however, many changes that have been made (and many more in the near future) with regards to our Sunday Morning and Evening Ministries.
If you want to take a look at some of the documentation already available for the equipment you can follow the links provided below.
The mixer is a Behringer Europower PMP 5000. You can read the USER MANUAL online in PDF format.
The Basics of Mixing by Roland. You can read this excellent online resource THE BASICS OF MIXING also in PDF format.
Microphone Theory and placement instructions can be found at this website.
More information to come as I get closer to announcing the date for the seminar.
-Bro Andy
