There was another mass
shooting in Pennsylvania today. Source material here. I vow to remember every mass shooting
in 2013 with at least one found poem. The murdered in such atrocities
were people before they were victims who merit remembrance. I
only hope However, I would be delighted
to need to write zero, of course.
Three people
including a woman
decorating a church
have been killed after a gunman opened
fire early Friday in Frankstown Township
in Central Pennsylvania.
After wounding three
officers,
the attacker was killed in
a shootout
with police.
The shootings started at
around 9am local time.
Police confirmed that the incident extended
over several miles, adding
that they were investigating
at least five separate
crime scenes.
Authorities did not
release the names
of the victims or the
assailant,
but said they were not related.
State police are still trying
to determine a timeline
and motive of the attacker.
A woman decorating a
church
for the funeral of the pastor
is believed to be the
first victim
shot.
The shooter then allegedly
opened
fire at two men on the
driveway of their home,
killing one.
The third victim was shot at a crash site
after a car chase with police.
When the gunman
encountered law enforcement,
a shootout began that ended his death.
Two Pennsylvania State Troopers
were injured during the confrontation,
with one being shot twice
and a second injured by
glass fragments
in his eye and bullet fragments in the
forehead.
A third officer
was injured in a car crash
during the ordeal.
Let's all breathe...
