Nine dead in Erie, Pennsylvania mass shooting

---

A 45-year-old man shot and killed eight people in Erie, Pennsylvania, including a pregnant woman and two children, then apparently shot himself to ‌death, authorities said on Saturday at a press conference where they revealed details of the previous evening's shooting.

The shooter, who has yet to be identified, died of an apparent self-inflicted wound before officers arrived on the scene, said Erie Police Chief Rick Lorah.

"Some scenes stay with you long after you leave them. This is one of those tragic scenes," Lorah ⁠said.

Police have yet to establish a motive, Lorah said. He said eight of the nine who died in the shooting were family members, and one was a family friend.

Lorah said after the shooter entered the home, he came out of the house and shot two women who appeared "distressed" and were pacing back and forth seeking assistance from neighbours.

Police found the suspect on the second floor of the home on Perry Street, Lorah said.

still no identity of the shooter......?

if it were a muslim the media would have it out quickly and a field day about terrorism......

HOW IS THIS NOT TERRORISM !!! Any/All type of crime which affects others should be called terrorism, specially these gun crimes

I get the distinct feeling not all the facts I've gotten out yet.

That being said, why do these types of people feel like taking others out with them. You want to kill yourself? Go do it. No need to to take it out on anyone else
