National brief: PA teen arrested in murders

A Pennsylvania teen was arrested in Indiana after a police chase that ended in a car crash.

David Ludwig, 18, is facing murder charges after allegedly shooting his 14-year-old girlfriend's parents, according to USAToday.com.

Richard F. Garipoli Jr., police chief in Pennsylvania's Warwick Township, where the shootings happened, said Tuesday that he is treating the girl as a victim in the case at this time.

Ludwig waived his right to challenge extradition to his home state Tuesday and will be tried for murder in Pennsylvania.

Ludwig was scheduled to board a plane Tuesday afternoon to return to Pennsylvania, said State Police 1st Sgt. Dave Bursten.

Authorities have said it remains unclear whether Ludwig's girlfriend had any role in her parents' killings.
