State troopers
responded to shots fired shortly before 1 a.m. at a Weis Markets
in Eaton Township, about 25 miles (40 km) northwest of Scranton,
after receiving a 911 call stating that someone was inside the
store shooting at people, according to a statement from the
Pennsylvania State Police.
Officers found two men and two women dead inside the store. One
of the men had opened fire on the other three people before he
killed himself. There was one witness at the scene who was not
injured, police spokesman Ryan Tarkowski said.
"Investigators are still on the scene and we believe the
incident is contained and the public is not in any danger at
this time," Tarkowski said.
Police said the identities of the suspect and victims would not
be released until next of kin were notified.
