Troy, N.Y. (AP) - Police say a 17-year-old upstate New York girl has aimed a rifle at her father's head and killed him after the two argued over his ATM card.
   
The Times Union of Albany reports that Trinity Copeland confessed the shooting to investigators.
   
The newspaper says Trinity called 911 early Friday to report that her father, Harlan Copeland, had been shot in his Troy apartment.
   
The Times Union says the two had been arguing over Trinity's repeated use of her father's ATM card against his wishes.
   
The newspaper says the teen told police that her father ordered her to kill him - or he would kill them both.
   
Trinity was arraigned on second-degree murder charges.
   
She declined to comment before she was driven off by police from the station.
