CLAIRTON, Pa. � Police say an 18-year-old is facing charges after the shooting death of a teenage girl in western Pennsylvania.

Police in Allegheny County say several young people were drinking beer in a garage in Clairton early Sunday when one produced a pistol.

Authorities say he allowed partygoers to play with it, and then was loading the weapon when it went off and a bullet struck the girl.

The county medical examiner's office says 17-year-old Karrie Linnen, of Clairton, was pronounced dead at about 2 a.m. Sunday at Jefferson Regional Medical Center.
