      George Joseph of Lehigh County said Tuesday 7-year-old Charles Kulp had been forced by an older boy to falsely admit the accidental shooting of Charles’ half sister, Patricia Broadhurst. Young Kulp Monday tearfully admitted to police he was aiming an air rifle at a wall when he fired and accidentally hit his 15-year- old sister. Joseph said Rodney Hillegas, 13, Zionsville, actually fired the shot, and threatened to beat Charles if the boy didn’t tell police he fired the .22 caliber rifle.
