4 dead/1 wounded/1injured following mass shooting at Pennsylvania business

Four people are dead, a woman was injured, and the alleged shooter is on life support following a mass shooting yesterday at a Pennsylvania car wash approximately 55 miles southeast of Pittsburgh.

The 28-year-old suspected shooter shot and killed 25-year-old Chelsie Cline, 27-year-old William Porterfield, 23-year-old Courtney Snyder and 21-year-old Seth Cline. One other victim, a female suffered slight injuries during the attack.

Chelsie Cline (Facebook) Alleged shooter was obsessed with her, family members report.

A man who lives near the car wash reported he heard approximately 30 gun shots at the time of the shooting.

Authorities say the suspected gunman who suffered a self-inflicted gunshot wound was armed with a semi-automatic rifle, a 308-caliber rifle and a handgun as well as body armor. He is not expected to live.

Reports indicate that the mass shooting may have been related to a domestic incident.

Family members stated the shooter was a jealous former boyfriend of Cline's, that he was obsessed with her, and that Cline had recently ended the relationship.

This incident is just another representation of the danger that arises when domestic violence and workplace violence intersect.
