BRIDGEVILLE, Pa. (AP) _ A Pittsburgh-area health club where a gunman killed three women and wounded nine others before shooting himself will reopen to members only on Saturday, and the general public on Monday.
The Web site of the LA Fitness center in Collier Township also thanks the community for its support since 48-year-old George Sodini opened fire on Aug. 4.
The club has been closed since the shootings which killed 37-year-old Jody Billingsley, of Mount Lebanon; 49-year-old Elizabeth Gannon, of Green Tree; and 46-year-old Heidi Overmier, of Carnegie.
Two women wounded have filed notice that they intend to sue Sodini’s estate for damages.
Sodini discussed his shooting plans in a blog discovered after his death, saying he couldn’t form relationships with women.

PITTSBURGH (AP) - The University of Pittsburgh says it’s not interested in an estimated $225,000 estate from the gunman who committed suicide after killing three women and wounding nine others at a Pittsburgh-area health club.
Court papers of the intended gift were filed Friday by the brother and executor for 48-year-old George Sodini, of Scott Township. A university spokesman rejected the offer on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, two women injured in the Aug. 4 shooting at the L.A. Fitness club in Collier Township intend to sue Sodini’s estate. Lisa Marie Fleeher and Ashley Ferragonio filed notices Tuesday in Allegheny County court. A message left for their lawyer wasn’t returned.
Sodini graduated from Pitt in 1992 and named the school as beneficiary in a 2007 will.

PITTSBURGH (AP) _ Pittsburgh’s Thomas Merton Center says it can’t get a permit to march downtown during the Group of 20 economic summit because a security perimeter for the event hasn’t been determined.
City officials say they can’t approve special event permits until the U.S. Secret Service decides where it will set security perimeters for the summit Sept. 24-25 at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center. It’s not clear when that perimeter may be determined and publicized.
Merton officials say they’re planning a nonviolent protest march whether or not they get a permit. The march is set for 2 p.m. Sept. 25, following a noon rally that is expected to draw thousands of protesters.

PITTSBURGH (AP) - Amtrak is suspending service into and out of its station in downtown Pittsburgh during the Group of 20 economic summit.
Spokeswoman Tracy Connell says passengers will not be able to book trips that begin or end in Pittsburgh from Sept. 24-26. The G-20 gathering of major world economic leaders is scheduled for Sept. 24-25 at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center a few blocks away from the train station.

It’s unclear whether Port Authority of Allegheny County buses and trains will travel downtown during the summit. Spokesman Jim Ritchie says that is still being discussed.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) - Hundreds of millions of dollars in tuition grants for Pennsylvania college students is stuck in limbo because of a six-week-old state government budget impasse.
That means an anticipated 172,000 students do not know exactly how much money they will receive from the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency.
Republican legislators are advocating $386 million, while Democratic Gov. Ed Rendell wants $460 million in grants.
Last year, the agency distributed $407 million, down from a record $454 million the year before, although that figure was pushed up by income from the student-loan agency.
The maximum individual grant award is $4,120.
For now, Penn State and many other schools say they will front the students’ grant money for the fall semester if the budget is not finished by then.

Callers who reported the crash say a woman was in the car, but nobody was there by the time rescue crews arrived.
Cervone was last seen at her home about 7:30 p.m. the day before the crash.
