A Shadyside, PA woman, currently hospitalized in serious condition, was charged with attempted homicide and aggravated assault today for shooting her estranged husband in his Pine Township, PA home Sunday. 46 year old Lynne Agnew allegedly shot 43 year old Dr. D. Kelly Agnew multiple times in the chest, then locked herself in his home. After a three hour standoff, police and the Allegheny County SWAT team persuaded her to surrender.
Daniel Agnew, 43, an orthopedic surgeon in the North Hills, was found on a neighbor's lawn and remained in critical condition yesterday at Allegheny General Hospital in the North Side. Morton said police had not spoken with him.
Lynne Agnew, whom neighbors described as a photographer, was in serious condition at Allegheny General with a bullet wound to the upper chest and shoulder area, which police said might have been self-inflicted. Morton said she will be charged once she is released.
The couple, parents of a 15 and 13 year old, divorced on Valentines Day 2008, and Lynne Agnew filed a protective order against Dr. Agnew that same day. The children were away at the time of the shooting and are now staying with relatives.
Police presence was heightened during the 3 hour standoff in Pine Township because of the ambush murders of 3 Pittsburgh police officers Saturday. The suspect, Richard Poplawski, 23, allegedly shot and killed police after they responded to a domestic call regarding a urinating dog. He faces 3 charges of 1st degree criminal homicide, 9 changes of attempted criminal homicide, and numerous other charges.
