PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – Police arrested a man Wednesday in conjunction with a fatal shooting in Aliquippa.
The shooting happened Tuesday and 58-year-old Richard Lincheck of Aliquippa was fatally shot.
Police arrested 46-year-old Lawrence Rains of Center Township in connection with the shooting.
Rains was found around 7 a.m. Wednesday morning, against a guard rail on Kennedy Boulevard bleeding "profusely" from the face.
Police say it was a self-inflicted gun wound from a failed suicide attempt.
