State police are executing a search warrant today at the Hempfield home of state Sen. Bob Regola as part of their investigation into the death of a 14-year-old neighbor shot with the senator's gun.

The search warrant affidavit has been sealed by a judge because of the ongoing investigation, state police said today.

State police arrived about 10 a.m. at the Regola home on Glenmeade Road. Information about what was being sought or what had been taken from the house was unavailable this morning.

Mark Rush, who is representing Sen. Regola, said the family was not home this morning and a relative had to be contacted to let police in. He said he had no idea what investigators were searching for.

"I'm anxious to see what's in the probable cause because I don't know what they have, I don't know where it's going," said defense attorney Duke George, who is representing the senator's son, Robert Regola IV.

Mr. George said relations between his client and the state police have turned adversarial of late.

Louis Farrell was pronounced dead July 22 from a gunshot wound of the head. The teen's body was found about 100 yards from his home, which is next-door to the Regola residence.

Investigators are still trying to determine whether Louis's death was an accident, homicide or suicide. They are also trying to determine how the teen obtained a 9mm handgun registered to Sen. Regola.
