    WESTFIELD, Pa. (AP) - More than 100 guns were stolen from a Pennsylvania sporting goods store after the thieves apparently disarmed an alarm system, pried open the front door and smashed glass display cases.

    Authorities posted a $5,000 reward Tuesday for information about the weekend theft at Ackley and Sons Sporting Goods. Owner Jeff Treadwell said most of the stolen weapons were handguns.
