<hl2 class="subhead" style="subhead">&amp;#8216;Monkee' celebration set</hl2>
A tiny Pennsylvania town where Monkees singer Davy Jones got away from it all will host a celebration in the '60s heartthrob's memory today. 
A few hundred people are expected for the concert and memorial service in Beavertown, where the singer of "Daydream Believer" and "Last Train to Clarksville" fell in love with a rolling landscape that reminded him of his native home. 
"He said, &amp;#8216;This is just like England,"' Mayor Cloyd Wagner told The Philadelphia Inquirer. 
Jones died Feb. 29 of a heart attack in Florida but spent much of his time in Beavertown, about 150 miles northwest of Philadelphia. He settled on a 15-acre spread on the edge of town two decades ago, enjoying relative anonymity while keeping horses. 
Next-door neighbor Carol Wickard said Jones was a kind man who helped the community &amp;#8212; once making a donation to keep the town's library open. 
Wickard said Jones would wear a wig to trim his hedges, even though fans would come by only once in a while. 
"I'd say, &amp;#8216;Just don't open your mouth. You're the only person around with an English accent,"' Wickard said.

<hl2 class="subhead" style="subhead">Shooter ID'd as neighbor</hl2>
Police on Friday identified a gunman who killed one person and shot several others at a University of Pittsburgh psychiatric clinic as a 30-year-old local man. 
They said he was armed with two handguns traced to Texas, one of which had been reported stolen. 
Police still don't have a motive for Thursday's shooting by John Shick, who's believed to have lived in Pittsburgh's Shadyside neighborhood near the hospital. They said it's too early for them to have determined if Shick had any criminal history or mental health problems.

<hl2 class="subhead" style="subhead">Attendant creates fracas</hl2>
An American Airlines flight attendant disrupted a flight Friday morning as it was about to take off from Dallas Fort/Worth en route to Chicago, saying over the aircraft intercom system that the plane was going to crash, alluding to 9/11 terrorist attacks and ranting about the airline's bankruptcy reorganization, passengers said.
Passengers ended up restraining the flight attendant in the plane cabin until airport police arrived.
Two flight attendants were injured in the incident. 
<hl2 class="header" style="subhead">GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip </hl2>
<hl2 class="subhead" style="subhead">Airstrikes kill militants</hl2>
An Israeli airstrike killed a top Palestinian militant commander and a second militant in Gaza on Friday in the highest profile attack against the coastal strip in months.
The Israeli military confirmed the strike, saying the slain commander Zuhair al-Qaissi was plotting an infiltration attack into Israel similar to one his group carried out in August that killed eight people. The military warned Gaza's Hamas rulers against any retaliation for the strike.
Al-Qaissi was top commander of the armed wing of the Popular Resistance Committee, a large militant group aligned with Hamas.
