It's just a parking space!



Reading police say a man has been charged in the shooting death of a 65-year-old neighbor following a long-running parking dispute.

Police say Herbert Rupp Jr. was shot in his southwest Reading neighborhood shortly before 1 p.m. Wednesday. They say he intervened in an argument between 56-year-old Santiago M. Robles and a woman over a storage locker, and an argument began that culminated in the shooting.

Sgt. John Solecki says the Robles, who was taken into custody several hours later, had a long-running dispute with the victim. He says the suspect blamed Rupp for the city's removal of his handicapped parking sign.
