The first shooting occurred just before 4 a.m. on Dec. 15 in Lower Salford, about 12 miles southeast of Pennsburg. Stone shot and killed a woman at close range. A neighbor of the victim said she heard loud bangs and the screams of two young girls.
“I heard the children screaming. Then I opened the window and asked him if everything was okay. He just looked at me and told me about her (the victim’s) injuries. After saying that, he got in his car and left,” she said.
The second shooting is believed to have occurred in Lansdale, a half hour after the first. The bodies of two victims were later found in Souderton, about nine miles north of Lansdale. The conditions of the six dead and injured are still unknown.
