Autopsy set on Pennsylvania girl, 12, shot during eviction
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}An autopsy has been set on a 12-year-old Pennsylvania girl who state police believe was accidentally shot by a constable serving her father with an eviction notice.
Police say Ciara (SEE'-ahr-ah) Meyer was home sick when she was shot by Constable Clark Steele at her apartment near Duncannon about 10 a.m. Monday.
Bill Stoeffler, a Dauphin County constable who speaks for others in the area, says Meyer is distraught and says it was "absolutely not intentional" that the girl was shot.

The autopsy is Wednesday. The Perry County district attorney is reviewing the shooting.
