ST. ALBANS, Vt. (AP) - A Burlington man has pleaded not guilty to shooting another man in the head as he sat in a vehicle outside a church in St. Albans.

Police say 22-year-old Zakk Trombly walked up to a vehicle in the parking lot of the Holy Angels Church last week, pounded on the windows and demanded the driver open the door.

They say he then shot 22-year-old Dustin Davenport, of Richford. Officers found Davenport lying in the parking lot. He was in critical condition on Friday.
