A 40-year-old man who authorities say kidnapped his girlfriend at gunpoint and shot her multiple times when she tried to escape at a Somerset County hotel has been convicted of attempted murder. Eder Gelin is scheduled to be sentenced March 8. The family of a 14-year-old girl who died by suicide last year after she was attacked by classmates are seeking justice. The Kuch family filed a lawsuit alleging the school board and other officials were aware of a culture of violence at Central Regional High School.
