Police are looking for a man in connection with a shooting that killed a woman and injured four other people at a house in western Pennsylvania, authorities said.
The Westmoreland County coroner and district attorney said Brianna Lartz, 25, was killed Friday night in the gunfire at a Jeannette home.
Officials said four other people who were taken to hospitals were expected to survive their injuries. Further information about the victims or their condition was not immediately available on Saturday.
The Tribune Review reported that Lartz’s mother, Bruna Vesco Leonard, said her daughter had been home to visit a friend. She said Lartz was “trying to get a better life, get out of Jeannette” and live in a house in the country, planning to support herself and her two children by opening a landscaping and cleaning business.
Her children were everything to her. What would they do without their mother?’ Leonard said before crying and hugging her husband, Joe Leonard, the newspaper reported.
