A hairstylist shot an unhappy client after she complained about her
haircut, police said.
Lauren Newton, 28, was getting her hair cut Thursday at the home of
Monique Reed when the two began to argue about the style, police said.
"She (Reed) went to the bedroom, got a gun, fired a shot in the
ceiling," Police Chief James Blyth said. Newton, who was trying to
flee with her sister, was then shot in the lower back, he said.
Reed, 38, was charged with aggravated assault and reckless
endangerment. She remained in jail in this southwestern Pennsylvania
town in lieu of $50,000 bond.
Newton's injuries were not considered life threatening. She was taken
to a hospital in nearby Pittsburgh for treatment.
The district magistrate's office said Reed had not listed an attorney
as of late Thursday.
