Aliquippa’s assistant police Chief Dan Couch told KDKA-TV that the nun, 70, was walking in a parking lot behind the church on Franklin Avenue around 11:30 this morning when she was approached by a man who choked her, punched her, then threw her to the ground and raped her. The nun is recovering from a broken jaw at Allegheny General Hospital, according to KDKA.

Investigators said Mr. Bullock’s boots matched a footprint in the snow from the scene.
Court records do not list an attorney for Mr. Bullock.
