Multiple people were killed – including two children and a pregnant woman – when a gunman opened fire at a Pennsylvania home on Friday night.
“I wanna be candid with our community, this is one of the most difficult and heartbreaking scenes that our officers and investigators have ever encountered,” Erie Police Chief Rick Lorah told reporters.
“The loss of life is devastating and the circumstances we are working through are deeply disturbing.”

Two women were found lying in the road outside the house, suffering from fatal gunshot wounds when officers arrived, according to the outlet.
The suspected killer, armed with a handgun, had barricaded himself inside the home and sparked a standoff between himself and a SWAT team.
Several shots were fired inside the home during the standoff, according to video from Erie News Now.
The killer, who has not been identified, died from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.
