4 Dead After Shooter's Spree in Pennsylvania

Three people were killed in Pennsylvania, on Friday, during a man's shooting spree. By the end of it police had killed the shooter, and were processing five separate crime scenes.

It began about 09:00 EST in Geeseytown, at the Juniata Valley Gospel Church. A man shot through the windows of the church, then came inside, shot and killed one of the two women working there, and then left. He then drove to a nearby house, shot and killed a man there, and drove away once again. As he drove, he crashed head on to another vehicle, shot and killed that driver, and spend off once more.

Not long after that he crashed head on to a police cruiser, got out of his vehicle and opened fire. The three officers, inside the cruiser, returned fire, killing the shooter. All three officers were injured in the crash and or shooting, but were later released after receiving treatment at the hospital.

Police have not yet identified the victims or the shooter. They are working on figuring out a motive, but say they're not near one yet. No connection between the shooter and his three victims has been found. Nor have they found a connection between the victims, other than that they all were within a few miles of each other, when the shootings happened.
