Shotgun to the face... probation

Why a 23-year-old pastor would possess a sawed-off shotgun, let alone show it to children, is beyond me. There is something about a sawed-off shotgun and pastor that just does not fit. I can't put my finger on it. Perhaps its that something so inherently violent would be in the hands of a man who is supposed to preach a message of peace.

Anyway... "Pastor" Keith Owens was given house arrest and probation for allowing a 15-year-old girl to die by a shotgun blast to her face. Probation seems so inadequate.

Twenty-three-year-old Keith Owens, of Duquesne, was sentenced Monday to two years of intermediate punishment, of which 18 months will be on house arrest, for his guilty plea to involuntary manslaughter.
