   INDIANA, Pa. (UPI) -- An Indiana County man was shot and killed
and a state trooper was wounded Thursday after the man resisted
arrest for allegedly making threats to the county's district
attorney.
   Police attempted to arrest Robert Fortunato at his home in
Indiana in the morning. Fortunato resisted, saying charges of making
terroristic threats were not true.
   Fortunato talked to reporters by telephone, saying the charges
were related to a letter he wrote to Indiana County District
Attorney Michael Handler. Fortunato said he did not threaten the
prosecutor, and he was not resisting arrest.
   A police SWAT team surrounded Fortunato's house at midday. Tear
gas was lobbed into the house and police broke in, firing weapons
and fatally shooting Fortunato.
   The state trooper who was wounded was identified as Kevin Colson.
He was transferred by helicopter from Indiana Hospital to Allegheny
General Hospital in Pittsburgh with a bullet wound to the face. His
condition was not immediately available.
