Dubai ruler says Emirates to privatize government services

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pittsburgh's SWAT team has surrounded a home that's supposed to be vacant after someone inside shot a construction worker. The worker was shot in the hand as he and two others went to work in the home about 9:30 a.m. Monday. The house is in the city's Lincoln-Lemington neighborhood, a blighted area with many vacant homes that are sometimes used by squatters and drug users. Police spokeswoman Sonya Toler didn't immediately identify the man inside the house, but she says he wasn't supposed to be there. The man has refused to come out of the home. Police were bringing various relatives to the area in hopes of getting the man to surrender. The name of the injured worker also hasn't been released.
