4 Pennsylvania family members killed in gunfight

Post by JALLEN »

A two-decade family feud came to a violent end when a man shot dead the two home invaders that killed his wife and son, not knowing the assailants included his long-estranged daughter, authorities said Sunday.

Though the investigation of Friday's shootings continues, authorities said it appears Josephine and Jeffrey Ruckinger planned to murder her family at their rural central Pennsylvania home -- but it remains unclear what exactly led to the deadly confrontation.

"They parked at the bottom of a long driveway, and walked up, heavily armed," said Cambria County District Attorney Kelly Callihan.

Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

A sawed off 12 gauge, a derringer and a .22 cal semiautomatic. The homeowner shot back with a .22 cal. I agree JALLEN, those are indeed some "heavy arms". "rlol"
