Police: Man found dead on sidewalk in Wilkes-Barre had medical emergency

<p>ALLENTOWN, Pa. (AP) &#8212; A preliminary hearing is set for a Pennsylvania man jailed on charges he used a homemade, high-pressure air gun to fatally shoot a neighbor with whom he had an affair.</p><p>Thirty-five-year-old Josef Raszler was charged last month with criminal homicide in the Sept. 13 shooting of 46-year-old Stephanie Roof. She was shot with a homemade metal projectile about 1 a.m. in the driveway of her home across the street from Raszler&#8217;s in Lower Macungie Township.</p><p>Raszler&#8217;s public defender hasn&#8217;t commented in advance of Thursday&#8217;s hearing. But police say Raszler acknowledged a romantic relationship that Roof ended two years ago, angering him.</p><p>Lehigh County District Attorney Jim Martin says investigators haven&#8217;t found the weapon Raszler allegedly used, but they have evidence he researched making it and practiced with it at his parents&#8217; lake house days before Roof&#8217;s killing.</p><style>
