Pennsylvania Man Who Killed Family Had Controlled Their Movements and Finances: Police
Police said the gunman killed seven relatives and a family friend before dying by suicide, and investigators have not announced a motive.
- On Friday, October 9, Matthew Stone fatally shot eight people, including his wife, three children, two grandchildren, and two women, before killing himself at a home in Erie, Pennsylvania.
- Investigators found the residence in "extremely filthy" conditions with no working toilet or shower; family members reported that Stone restricted when relatives could leave or see others.
- Lora Roberts and Twila Tanner arrived after hearing distress and pounded on the door seeking help; Stone fatally shot both women outside the residence before returning inside.
- Community members established GoFundMe pages raising $41,817 toward a $45,000 goal for funeral expenses; Mayor Daria Devlin questioned whether systems could have prevented the tragedy.
- Although Stone faced 2019 firearm-related charges, Erie Police Chief Rick Lorah said investigators cannot establish what role mental health or substance use played in the shooting.
