4 dead, including shooter, in central Pennsylvania
(CNN) -- A man killed two men and one woman Friday in central Pennsylvania,
then died in a gunfight with state troopers, authorities said.
The first report of shots fired came in a 911 call placed around 9 a.m. As
Pennsylvania State Police officers responded, someone in a truck fired at
their marked patrol cars.
The truck's driver then collided "head-on" with a different patrol car, got
out of his vehicle and began firing at officers, Trooper Jeffrey Petucci
said.
State troopers returned fire, eventually killing the truck's driver.
According to Blair County District Attorney Richard Consiglio, three state
police officers were hurt in the response: One was wounded when a bullet hit
his armored vest, another was hurt in the vehicle accident, and the third
was hit by flying glass as the shooter fired through the windshield of the
officer's vehicle.
The incident occurred in Frankstown Township, about 7 miles southeast of
Altoona and 100 miles east of Pittsburgh. By 10 a.m., the "active shooter
situation" was under control, the Blair County Emergency Management Agency
reported on its Facebook page.
Sometime after this episode, three slain people were discovered at three
different locations, said state police Lt. Col. George Bivens.
A woman was killed at a church, one man was found dead in a residence, and
the other man was killed after getting into a car accident with the truck's
driver, added Bivens. All three had been shot.
"It is believed that the male subject committed three homicides before
encountering the troopers," state police said in a statement.
Authorities have not identified the shooter or the victims. Earlier, an
official gave a different breakdown of the victims' genders. Consiglio said
"they were not immediate family" of the shooter.
"Some weapons" tied to the episode have been seized, though Bivens did not
detail the type of firearms, how they had been obtained or how they were
used Friday.
"It is safe to say there was more than one weapon seized from the crime
scene," Bivens said.
Around noon, the Blair County Emergency Agency said on Facebook, "There is
no longer a threat to residents and visitors to this area from this
individual." A road -- Juniata Valley Road, between Geeseytown and Canoe
Creek State Park -- was closed for the rest of the day Friday "as the
Pennsylvania State Police process the crime scene along this route for
evidence."
In the wake of the shootings, a prayer service for the community was
scheduled for 7 p.m. Saturday at Geeseytown Lutheran Church in Frankstown
Township. | r********t
