A mass shooting at a home in Erie left nine people dead, including two children and the gunman, in an incident local law enforcement described as the most devastating in the city's history. Police responded to a residence in the 700 block of Perry Street around 4:50 p.m. Friday after a automated gunshot detection alert. Witnesses reported seeing a man firing a handgun on the sidewalk, where two women were killed, before he ran inside the home. Tactical teams secured the area and later discovered six more victims and the suspect dead inside. Investigators determined that all the victims had died before officers arrived and that the unidentified shooter died of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. Erie Police Chief Rick Lorah said there is no ongoing threat to the public, while Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro pledged the state's full support to Erie Mayor Daria Devlin as the investigation continues. Subscribe to LiveNOW from FOX! https://www.youtube.com/livenowfox?sub_confirmation=1
