PA - Mass shooting, five adults & unborn child dead, Wilkinsburg, March 2016

[passionflower]

LE probably looking closely who comes and who doesn't go to the funerals..............

 

[CARIIS]

IIRC, yes each person had atleast 1 bullet to the head............I will have to look for a link, maybe I heard it on local news?? One lady had 40 wounds.............overkill for sure. The men had less, must of been in the back of the crowd, such a small porch.

Sadly all of em had a lot of shots IIRC, I remember it freaking me out when I read it. I remember the 40 one also gezzz - how does a semi automatic work comparted to an auto -----how many can a semi shoot before reload


do gun folks think he had to reload to get that many shots ??

I forget the exact rifle used in this but it's likely it could have held 30+ rounds before a reload.

The 40 caliber handgun likely held 10-15 rounds.

The amount of shots fired is a lot, for sure.

 

[passionflower]

suppose to have been 2 shooters, IIRC so if each gun had 30 + rounds?

I think the shooter with the 40 cal. Handgun fired a few rounds creating panic and essentially setting up the rifle shooter to have a mass of people to open fire into...at least that's my interpretation of the articles thus far.

The shooter with the handgun I don't think struck anyone and if he fired 30 rounds that would have required a reload twice or more.

Heartbreaking video - 5 children lost their mother for nothing. I hope they are building a case that sticks... these families deserve justice.

Except for the funerals, LE is holding cards to chess, nothing on local news

 

[LietKynes]

Marking my spot and hoping for arrests !!!

 

[passionflower]

IMOO, I feel LE & family knows the killers.
Someone is hiding them..........or they would be arrested.
That is the big problem in many areas of the 'burgh.

You know what just struck me from this line

Then, as the approximately 15 people at the party tried to run inside the home,

i wonder why all this time none of the other people, actually at the scene have never told their experince to the media?? If I remeber right all I remember is seeing interview from some folks who were near there.

To scared?? How far away is where this guy was taken into is custudy is he from the shooting.

Then this would be murder for hire huh since he is not related??

He does have drug background, but I still think custudy angle is in all thisMOO

Told police are executing search warrant at address where the person being questioned was detained this morning. David Kaplan WTAE tweet

BBM Lincoln Lemmington area is where they found him, not far from wilkensburg. By car and traffic maybe 20 minutes. Mapquest says 6 miles.

Siblings Jerry Shelton, 35, Brittany Powell, 27, and Chanetta Powell, 25, were gunned down during a backyard barbecue. Chanetta Powell's unborn son, Demetrius, died as well.

so is Cheron Shelton a cousin? half brother? uncle?
