Story summary
On Friday evening, nine people, including two children, were killed in a shooting rampage in Erie, Pennsylvania. The incident began with reports of gunfire and individuals lying dead on the street; police arrived to find two women deceased outside a house. A gunman barricaded himself inside and engaged in an hours-long standoff with SWAT teams before dying from what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Police discovered additional victims, including children, inside the home when they entered. Erie Police Chief Rick Lorah described it as one of the worst scenes he had encountered in 28 years of service. The pregnant status of one victim was also reported by some outlets.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
