Nine killed in Erie shooting; suspected attacker found dead

Nine people, including children, died in a mass shooting Friday in Erie, Pennsylvania, with the suspected attacker found dead at the scene.

• Police responding to reports of gunfire found two women dead in the street and, after a standoff, seven more victims and the suspected attacker inside the residence.
• Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro announced the death toll Saturday and offered his administration's full support to Erie Mayor Daria Devlin.
• Erie Police Chief Rick Lorah said the suspect died and no threat to the public remained, calling the circumstances "deeply disturbing."
• The suspected gunman fatally shot eight people, including two children, before apparently taking his own life.
• Investigators determined that all nine deaths occurred before police officers arrived at the residence.
• The shooting was at least the 19th mass killing in the United States this year, according to the Gun Violence Archive.
