A senior editor for PC World Magazine was shot to death in his Pittsburg home in what police described as a drug-related attack, authorities said Wednesday.More here.
Rex Farrance, 59, the San Francisco-based magazine's senior technical editor, was shot in the chest after four masked men broke into his home in the 100 block of Argosy Court at around 9 p.m. Tuesday.
"When [Farrance] was trying to comply with their demands, he was shot and fatally wounded," Pittsburg police Inspector John Conaty said.
The assailants also pistol-whipped Farrance's wife, Lenore Vantosh-Farrance, 56, a registered nurse. She called 911, but the attackers fled before officers arrived.
The motive for the attack appears to have been robbery, Conaty said, but investigators found evidence at the home that leads them to believe the couple wasn't targeted randomly.
