THIRD GENERATION OF SERVICES BY HUDSON PITTSBURGH (AP) A teen-ager shot his stepfather to death to end a chronic dispute, and within hours lost his natural father, who died of injuries suffered in a car crash after he visited the youth in detention, authorities say. Christopher Couch, 14, was charged with killing Edward Chruscial, 51, with a rifle as the lay on the couch Tuesday evening at the family's home in suburban Monroeville. John Couch, 43, of McKeesport, died at 1:30 a.m. Wednesday at McKeesport Hospital.

His car skidded on ice and crashed around midnight Tuesday, about an hour after he visited the Shuman Detention Center. The boy's mother, Mary Chruscial, told police that Tuesday, Chruscial ordered Christopher to his room every night for two months in a dispute over Christopher's playing the guitar, saying the youth talked back to him. Police said the boy got the rifle from his parents' bedroom. They quoted Mrs. Chruscial, who had been washing dishes in the kitchen when the gunshot sounded, as saying her son was pale when he came to her and saving, just shot Ed." Mrs.

Chruscial said she married Chruscial in the late 1970s, three weeks after he was paroled from Western Penitentiary in Pittsburgh. Court records show he served 10 years for second-degree murder in the shooting death of his girlfriend. Mrs. Chruscial said that whenever she tried to convince Chruscial he was too strict with the children he said he only wanted to keep them out of trouble. Christopher's brother, Michael, 17, was the only other one of seven children who still lived at home.

Michael said, "A lot of times, if Chris just talked, Ed would say he was talking back but he really wasn't." "When we all left home, he didn't have many of us to pick on anymore," said a sister, Mary Jo, 21, of McKeesport. "The rules changed every day. One day you'd be friends with the guy and the next day you'd done something wrong. That's why I left," said Jack Couch, 22. In a statement to police after his arrest, Christopher said, "I was sitting on the bed and started thinking about all the things he'd done to everyone." Scarborough Hargett, Ina.
