PITTSBURGH, PA (WPXI) — A woman accused of opening fire at a family in a Pittsburgh neighborhood is facing over a dozen charges. On Friday, the Pittsburgh Police Department filed 17 charges, including criminal attempted homicide and six counts of aggravated assault, against 36-year-old Latasha Thorne. Thorne is accused of shooting a man in the city’s Larimer neighborhood on March 30, leaving him in critical condition. A criminal complaint states that police first responded to Mayflower Street before 7 p.m. to settle an argument between neighbors. By 7:45 p.m., officers were called back to the same street for a report of a person shot while holding their child. At this time, court records show that Thorne is not in custody.
