‼️ WHY WOULD THE MOTHER HAVE BOUGHT THAT FIREARM? WILL SHE BE CHARGED? As we know, the mother of the 16-year-old gunman at Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend, Oregon, purchased the pump-action shotgun sometime in August, which happened to be the month of her son, Griffin J. John’s, 16th birthday. Although not confirmed by authorities yet, speculation has circulated that she bought it as a gift to him. Whether that’s true or not does not change the fact that he had or obtained access to it and chose to use it that day when he broke into the school and began firing at innocent children and teachers inside his former special education classroom. My question is this: If his mother, Shauntai Nickerson, knew her son had increased needs and potentially required additional supervision, why would she give him access to a firearm? I wonder if there were any warning signs prior to the massacre. I wonder if she will end up facing charges. Personally, I feel she should. We have seen it happen before. On September 4, 2024, 14-year-old Colt Gray opened fire at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia. He killed two students and two students, and injured nine others. His father, Colin Gray, had given him the AR-15-style rifle used in the attack and knew his son had troubling behavior. Just this past March, Colin Gray was convicted of second-degree murder, involuntary manslaughter and other charges. On July 30, 2026, he was sentenced to 15 years in prison. He became the first parent in the country convicted of murder in connection with a mass school shooting committed by their child. I tried to see if she had a criminal history, but all I could find were a list of violations and charges. It is important to note these are not convictions. Thoughts?? #crime #truecrime #news #viral #oregon #SilverRail #police #abbyblabby

‼️ MOTHER OF 16-YEAR-OLD OREGON SCHOOL SHOOTER INSISTS HE WAS A “GOOD BOY” AFTER HE KILLED THREE CHILDREN AND A TEACHER The mother of the 16-year-old gunman responsible for Thursday’s horrific elementary school shooting in Bend, Oregon, is speaking out, insisting her son was a good boy despite the unimaginable violence that left four innocent people dead. John J. Griffin II, 16, has been identified as the teenager who opened fire at Silver Rail Elementary School on October 15, killing three children, ages 5, 8 and 11, along with a teacher. A 7-year-old student and another teacher, 54, were critically injured. According to the New York Post, Griffin’s mother broke down in tears while discussing her son, describing him as a good boy and struggling to reconcile the child she knew with the horrific acts he allegedly committed. But another disturbing detail has emerged about the weapon used in the massacre. According to NBC News, two senior law enforcement officials confirmed that Griffin’s mother purchased the firearm he used in the shooting around his birthday in August, just two months before the attack. The weapon was reportedly a pump-action shotgun. Authorities have not publicly established whether the firearm was specifically intended as a birthday gift or explained how Griffin gained access to it on the day of the shooting. Investigators say the teenager arrived at Silver Rail Elementary shortly before 1 p.m. Thursday and began firing. He reportedly shot through locked school doors to force his way inside, where children and teachers were going about their normal school day. Among those killed was 5-year-old Rhoam Summer, a kindergartener whose family is now preparing to bury their little boy instead of watching him grow up. Two other children, ages 8 and 11, and a teacher also lost their lives. The massacre might have claimed even more victims if not for the actions of 36-year-old Kaylub Giamanco, a local father whose two daughters attend the elementary school. Giamanco was reportedly driving home during his lunch break when he heard gunfire. Armed with a legally carried concealed weapon, he pursued the teenager into the school and fatally shot him, bringing the rampage to an end. Despite being credited with saving lives, Giamanco is reportedly struggling emotionally with what happened and does not consider himself a hero. Meanwhile, investigators are examining Griffin’s electronic devices, internet searches and social media activity to determine whether he had an interest in previous mass shootings or other acts of violence. Authorities have not announced a motive or established whether Griffin had any personal connection to Silver Rail Elementary School. While Griffin’s mother remembers him as a good boy, four families are now mourning loved ones who will never come home. #crime #truecrime #news #viral #oregon

‼️ BREAKING: 16-YEAR-OLD GUNMAN IDENTIFIED IN DEADLY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL SHOOTING The teenage gunman responsible for Thursday’s deadly shooting at Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend, Oregon, has reportedly been identified as 16-year-old John J. Griffin. The horrific attack on October 15, 2026, claimed the lives of three children, ages 5, 8 and 11, along with a teacher. A 7-year-old student and a 54-year-old teacher were also critically injured. Among those killed was 5-year-old Rhoam Summer, a kindergartner whose family is now preparing to bury their little boy. According to The Associated Press, citing a law enforcement official familiar with the investigation, the teenager used a pump-action shotgun that had been legally purchased by his mother. However, investigators have not publicly explained how Griffin gained access to the weapon, whether it was properly secured or whether his mother knew he had taken it. The shooting began shortly before 1 p.m., when authorities received a 911 call reporting that someone was firing at a vehicle outside the school. The gunman then reportedly shot through locked doors to gain entry into the elementary school, where he opened fire. The violence ended when an armed community member, reportedly identified as Kaylub Giamanco, followed the teenager into the building and fatally shot him. Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek praised the individual who intervened, acknowledging both his courage and the emotional burden of taking another person’s life. Investigators are now working to determine what motivated the teenager, whether he had any connection to the school and exactly how he obtained access to his mother’s shotgun. #news #crime #truecrime #oregon #viral

‼️ HERO WHO FATALLY SHOT 16-YEAR-OLD OREGON SCHOOL SHOOTER REPORTEDLY IDENTIFIED AS KAYLEB GIAMANCO The man credited with stopping Thursday’s deadly elementary school shooting in Bend, Oregon, has reportedly been identified as Kayleb Giamanco, although authorities have not yet publicly confirmed his identity. According to police, the courageous community member witnessed the 16-year-old gunman entering Silver Rail Elementary School on October 15. Rather than fleeing, he followed the teenager into the building, confronted him and fatally shot him, bringing an end to the horrific attack within minutes. Tragically, four innocent lives were lost, including three children, ages 5, 8 and 11, and a teacher. A 7-year-old student and a 54-year-old teacher were also critically injured. But think about this for a moment. As devastating as the loss of those four innocent lives is, had Kayleb not intervened, there is absolutely no telling how many more children and teachers could have been killed.. How many more parents might have received that unimaginable phone call.. How many more families would be planning funerals instead of welcoming their children home from school. I have heard that Kayleb is struggling emotionally with what happened, knowing that he took the life of a teenager. I can only imagine the emotional weight of such an experience. Because even though the shooter was responsible for an unthinkable act of violence, he was still just 16 years old. And Kayleb was placed in a situation that no ordinary person should ever have to face. He made a split-second decision that saved countless lives, but that doesn’t mean the experience won’t stay with him forever. Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek publicly thanked him for his extraordinary bravery and acknowledged the emotional burden he may carry after witnessing such a horrific tragedy. Four families are now facing unimaginable grief, and an entire community is mourning. But because he was willing to risk his own life to intervene, many other families were spared the possibility of that same heartbreak. Kayleb, you are a HERO!!! ❤️ I hope you receive all the love, support and compassion you deserve as you process what happened. You may never know exactly how many lives you saved that day, but the courage you showed will never be forgotten. Thank you for stepping in!! #news #oregon #silvercross #hero #viral

‼️ MORE INFO! AT LEAST FIVE BELIEVED DEAD IN OREGON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL SHOOTING; MULTIPLE CHILDREN AMONG VICTIMS, TEEN SHOOTER KILLED A devastating shooting at an Oregon elementary school Thursday afternoon has left at least five people believed dead, including children, as investigators work to determine what led to the violence. The shooting occurred at Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend, Oregon, today shortly before 1 p.m. The first 911 call came in at approximately 12:59 p.m., reporting that an unidentified man had fired a gunshot into a vehicle outside the school. Within the next minute, additional emergency calls began flooding dispatchers, reporting that a gunman had entered the elementary school and was shooting inside the building. Police arrived at approximately 1:02 p.m., just three minutes after the initial emergency call. Seconds after officers arrived, the suspected shooter was shot and killed inside the school. Authorities have not disclosed who took him out, but sources have told me it was a student’s dad. According to The Associated Press, two law enforcement officials familiar with the investigation said at least five people were believed to have died. The preliminary death toll could change, and authorities had not clarified whether the suspected shooter was included in that number. The Washington Post separately reported that three children and one adult were believed to have been killed, citing preliminary information from law enforcement officials. At least two additional victims were transported to St. Charles Bend hospital. Their conditions have not been released. Silver Rail Elementary serves approximately 459 students in kindergarten through fifth grade, meaning the children attending the school are generally between 5 and 11 years old. As frightened parents rushed to find their children, law enforcement officers began moving classroom by classroom, carefully evacuating students and staff. School buses transported children to Journey Church, located at 61303 S. Highway 97, where a family reunification center was established. Nearby schools were also placed on lockdown as authorities responded to the emergency. The FBI’s Portland office has joined the investigation, and officials announced that Bend schools will be closed Friday. Bend-La Pine Schools Superintendent Steven Cook expressed his heartbreak over the tragedy, saying the district’s immediate priorities are caring for students and staff while assisting investigators. Authorities have not publicly identified the teen shooter, the victims or a possible motive. #crime #truecrime #news #oregon #shooting #viral

‼️ ROBYN POLSTON BODYCAM FOOTAGE This is just a clip from the day Robyn Polston was arrested. After everything she had done, she was all worried about people taking pictures of her and posting on the internet. She said it’s embarrassing. Are you kidding me??? BACKSTORY: Robyn Polston was a 43 year old mother from Washington, IL, when she groomed her teenage daughter’s 14 year old ex boyfriend, moved him in with her after lying to his grandparents about her intentions with him, SA’ed him for months, and became pregnant with his baby. She worked at a hair salon and told her clients the baby’s father is in the military and was overseas. She already had two children (teens) but always wanted a third, so everyone was really happy for her. As time progressed, people began noticing a boy always hanging around with her. She allegedly told people he was her boyfriend’s younger brother. But eventually, someone thought he looked familiar and decided to look through a middle school yearbook, where they realized he was actually her own teen daughter’s ex boyfriend! She even had a maternity shoot done with the boy after telling the photographer he is 25 years old but has a “baby face.” The victim was present for all the prenatal appointments, gender reveal party, and even the baby’s birth in January 2025. Robyn’s sister and mother were well aware of what was going on, enabled it, and protected her secrets. Throughout the investigation, sources told me they witnessed the victim getting dropped off at her home in the evenings and not leaving until the next morning when he would go to work. On November 3, she was finally arrested and charged with 4 total counts of criminal s*xual assault and possession of CSAM. The following day, a judge ordered her to stay detained. Last year while the investigation was still active, I received screenshots of text conversations Robyn had with a local tanning salon owner from December of 2023, where she explains that her “boyfriend” is coming into town from Nevada and it’s going to be their first time “getting freaky” and that she wants to look perfect. Other texts I received show Robyn admit to hair clients that she got pregnant on purpose. On April 9, she pleaded guilty to the counts and was sentenced to a total of 19 years in prison. She was be a registered offender for the rest of her life. For every detail in this case, I have a whole playlist on my TikTok with her name as the title. #news #crime #truecrime #washington #illinois #robynpolston #viral #abbyblabby

‼️ FULL BODYCAM FOOTAGE FROM THE ARREST OF ROBYN POLSTON! If you followed the Robyn Polston case with me, I just uploaded the full video from the day of her arrest onto my YouTube page. This is the Illinois mother who groomed her own daughter’s 14 year old boyfriend before moving him into her home, where she SA’ed him for over a year, becoming pregnant along the way and having his baby. The baby was born in January, 2025, and the investigation began the following month. After DNA results confirmed the teen boy fathered the baby, Robyn was arrested in November. She was ultimately sentenced to 19 years in prison. The last I heard, the baby was still in foster care, but the boy is trying to get custody of him. Don’t forget, her two teenage children had to watch all of this happen. Imagine your own mother moving your 14 year old boyfriend into your home and basically making him her husband. It’s sickening beyond words! Watch here- youtu.be/QoEaVWTNYe8?is=IXHW… #news #crime #truecrime #viral #robynpolston #illinois

‼️ MOTHER ACCUSED OF STABBING HUSBAND AND 3-YEAR-OLD SON TO DEATH AT GREAT WOLF LODGE; DISTURBING DETAILS REVEALED A family getaway at a popular Pennsylvania water park resort ended in tragedy after a 27-year-old mother allegedly stabbed her husband and their 3-year-old son to death inside their hotel room before attempting to take her own life. Metallica Rose Harrison, 27, of Towanda, Pennsylvania, has been charged with two counts of criminal homicide following the deaths of her husband, Charles Harrison, and their young son at Great Wolf Lodge in the Pocono Mountains on Monday, October 12. According to a criminal complaint, Harrison called 911 around 3:13 p.m. and told dispatchers she was su*cidal. During the call, she allegedly revealed that her husband and little boy were already dead. “My husband and son are already gone in the bed,” Harrison reportedly told dispatchers. When officers arrived at Room 2030, they found Harrison suffering from injuries to her wrist and neck. Inside, investigators discovered Charles and the couple’s 3-year-old son dead on separate mattresses. Charles had suffered multiple stab wounds to his chest, while the little boy appeared to have sustained a single stab wound to his chest. Both were pronounced dead at the scene. Investigators also discovered two knives with teal-green handles inside the hotel bathroom, including a large butcher knife lying on the floor and a smaller knife in the sink. Several medication bottles and containers holding what appeared to be blood were also recovered. Resort officials reportedly confirmed that the knives did not belong to Great Wolf Lodge. Harrison was transported to a hospital, where she allegedly made several disturbing statements to emergency medical personnel. According to court documents, Harrison acknowledged what had happened, reportedly telling responders, “I fucked up.” She also expressed frustration that her su*cide attempt had been unsuccessful and questioned why her blood was clotting after reportedly taking blood-thinning medication. Harrison then spoke about the family life she had always wanted. “Every day, I work so hard. To be the best person, the best mother, the best wife,” she allegedly said. “It wasn’t supposed to end like this. I was supposed to have my happy family. That’s what I envisioned since I was a child.” Investigators revealed that the family had been staying at Great Wolf Lodge for several weeks. They checked in on September 21 and extended their reservation on October 5, with plans to leave October 13. Surveillance footage reportedly captured the family returning to their room shortly before 7 p.m. Sunday. Later that evening, Harrison and her husband were seen visiting the resort’s arcade before returning to their room. Authorities have not determined exactly when the killings occurred or what may have motivated them. When investigators attempted to interview Harrison at the hospital, she reportedly refused to answer questions, telling them she was “su*cidal, not stupid.” Monroe County District Attorney Mike Mancuso described the killings as a “violent domestic tragedy” and confirmed that Harrison faces two counts of criminal homicide. The little boy’s name has not been publicly released. Harrison remained hospitalized as of Tuesday, October 13, and had not yet been arraigned. The investigation remains ongoing. #crime #truecrime #pennsylvania #greatwolfelodge #viral

‼️ FAMILY OF 23-YEAR-OLD MAN MAULED TO DEATH BY TIGER BREAKS SILENCE, REVEALS HE STRUGGLED WITH MENTAL ILLNESS The family of a 23-year-old man who was mauled to death by a Siberian tiger after entering its enclosure at a wildlife park in England has broken its silence, revealing that he had struggled with significant mental illness for years. William Chapman, 23, died Saturday, October 10, after climbing into a tiger enclosure at Yorkshire Wildlife Park near Doncaster, England. The horrifying incident unfolded shortly after 1:30 p.m., prompting an emergency response and the evacuation of the wildlife park. Witnesses reported seeing Chapman behaving unusually before the attack. One eyewitness described him wearing headphones and pacing near the enclosure before entering the restricted area. Other accounts described Chapman dancing along a walkway above the enclosure while listening to music. Chapman’s devastated family is now speaking publicly about the young man they loved and the mental health struggles he experienced before his death. In a statement released Tuesday evening to BBC, the family described William as a loving young man whose life was about much more than the circumstances surrounding his death. “William was a bright, warm and engaging young man whom his family dearly loved - and William loved them back.” His relatives revealed that Chapman had experienced “significant mental illness” for several years and had been prescribed “strong medication.” However, the family emphasized that it remains unclear whether his mental illness contributed to his decision to enter the tiger enclosure. They said that determination should be left to the coroner and asked the public to respect the ongoing investigation rather than speculate about his intentions. “The family are utterly devastated by their loss and are struggling to come to terms with what has happened,” the statement continued. They also expressed hope that investigators would determine what led William to enter the enclosure. “The family are hopeful that the relevant authorities will do their upmost to get to the bottom of why our amazing son did what he did.” Chapman was also remembered by the Jackie Palmer Stage School in High Wycombe, where he had previously been a student. “We loved watching William grow, both as a person and as a performer, during his time with us,” the school wrote in a tribute Tuesday. “It was a privilege to be part of his journey, and he will be remembered with great fondness by everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him.” Meanwhile, City of Doncaster Council has launched a health and safety investigation into the fatal incident, including the circumstances that allowed Chapman to gain access to the dangerous animal’s enclosure. Yorkshire Wildlife Park remains closed as the investigation continues. Park officials have also confirmed that Altai, the tiger involved in the attack, will not be euthanized. The animal remained inside its enclosure following the incident, and park staff expressed their heartfelt condolences to Chapman’s loved ones. Although the circumstances surrounding Chapman’s actions remain under investigation, his family hopes the public will remember him for the person he was rather than the disturbing circumstances of his death. #news #tiger #zoo #viral #england

‼️ MAN EJECTED FROM GOLIATH ROLLER COASTER AT SIX FLAGS IDENTIFIED AS 42-YEAR-OLD ATLANTA MAN; FOUR OTHERS REPORTEDLY INJURED The man who tragically died after being ejected from the Goliath roller coaster at Six Flags Over Georgia has been identified as Hassan Jihad Ibn Kariem, 42, of Atlanta, Georgia. According to the Cobb County Police Department, preliminary interviews with witnesses and park employees indicate that Kariem was thrown from the roller coaster while it was operating, struck other park guests as he was ejected and fell to the ground beneath the massive attraction. The horrifying incident occurred Monday, October 12, at Six Flags Over Georgia in Mableton, just outside Atlanta. Officers working at the amusement park responded to the scene at approximately 3:58 p.m. and discovered Kariem beneath the roller coaster. He was unresponsive and not breathing when officers located him. Police immediately secured the area and requested assistance from the Cobb County Police Department’s Major Crimes Unit, which is now leading the investigation. Authorities confirmed that Kariem’s next of kin were notified. Four other people were reportedly injured during the incident. Witnesses described terrifying moments as Kariem became airborne, reportedly striking portions of the roller coaster before falling to the ground. One passenger, Logan Conner, described watching Kariem fly through the air and make eye contact with other riders. “Every time I close my eyes I see that man in the air, he locked eyes with us,” Conner told WSB Radio. Another passenger, Cassidy Delancy, described seeing Kariem slip from his seat, turn sideways and strike the roller coaster car. Several witnesses also reported hearing unusual clicking noises coming from the ride’s restraints before the accident. However, investigators have not determined how Kariem became separated from his seat, and there has been no official confirmation that a restraint malfunction contributed to the tragedy. Following the incident, the roller coaster was stopped, leaving passengers stranded high above the ground. Emergency crews helped evacuate riders, some of whom reportedly waited more than an hour to be rescued. Goliath is one of Six Flags Over Georgia’s largest attractions, standing approximately 200 feet tall and reaching speeds of up to 70 mph. Unlike roller coasters that use over-the-shoulder restraints, Goliath secures passengers using lap bars. In response to the deadly incident, Six Flags has temporarily closed nine additional roller coasters across six amusement parks as a precaution. Those attractions also use lap-bar restraints. Six Flags released a statement expressing condolences to Kariem’s family and confirming that the company is cooperating with investigators. The Cobb County Police Department’s Major Crimes Unit and Georgia state safety officials are investigating the circumstances surrounding Kariem’s death. #news #goliath #sixflags #rollercoaster #georgia #viral

‼️ FIRST PHOTOS REVEALED OF MAN MAULED TO DEATH BY TIGER AT YORKSHIRE ZOO The man who was mauled to death by a Siberian tiger after climbing into its enclosure at Yorkshire Wildlife Park in England has reportedly been identified as William Chapman, believed to be in his early 20s. New photographs have emerged of Chapman, including a selfie taken at a gym and another disturbing image reportedly shared on social media the day he died. In that photograph, Chapman is seen holding a Bible and a crossbow with a crossbow bolt between his teeth. He appears to be wearing the same clothing seen in footage recorded shortly before Saturday’s fatal attack. According to The Sun, Chapman had been living in the Doncaster area and was described by police as vulnerable. Witnesses say Chapman was alone at the wildlife park on October 10, dancing along a walkway above the tiger enclosure while listening to music through his AirPods. He appeared happy before approaching a woman, identified as Del Taylor, and asking her to photograph him with Altai, a 440-pound Siberian tiger, in the background. Chapman reportedly requested several photographs before thanking her. Moments later, he began climbing over the safety barrier. A woman desperately attempted to stop him, reportedly grabbing him and trying to pull him back. However, Chapman broke free and dropped approximately 12 feet into the enclosure. Footage reportedly uploaded to Instagram shortly before the attack shows Chapman slowly approaching Altai, who was resting on a raised wooden platform. His heavy breathing can be heard as horrified visitors shout warnings, including one person yelling, “Seriously!” Other footage shows Chapman sitting on the grass facing the tiger, pointing his finger at the animal and kicking toward it. Witnesses described his behavior as unusual, with some suggesting he appeared disconnected from reality. When Altai attacked, Chapman reportedly screamed “No!” and repeatedly yelled at the tiger to “stop.” Other witnesses said he told the animal to “stop being naughty” and appeared to make a gesture resembling the Makaton sign for “bad,” a communication system often used by individuals with speech or learning difficulties. The tiger eventually clamped its jaws around Chapman’s neck and dragged him away. Zookeepers reportedly fired five loud acoustic blasts in an attempt to frighten Altai away. The tiger eventually retreated and was secured inside its enclosure. Emergency crews, including an air ambulance, responded around 1:35 p.m., but Chapman was pronounced dead at the scene. Yorkshire Wildlife Park has confirmed that Altai, the five-year-old Siberian tiger, will not be euthanized. “We can reassure everyone that he is safe and well and will not be euthanised as a result of this incident,” the park said. An animal ranger, Charlotte Pywell, also defended the tiger, saying, “It was not the tiger’s fault at all.” The wildlife park was evacuated following the attack and remained closed as traumatized staff received specialist support. The City of Doncaster Council has launched a formal health and safety investigation, working alongside police and other agencies. Chapman’s family has been notified and is receiving support from specialist officers. Although witnesses have described Chapman’s unusual behavior, authorities have not confirmed whether he had any medical, developmental or mental health conditions that may have contributed to his actions. #news #viral #zoo #tiger

‼️ MAN DIES AFTER FALLING FROM GOLIATH ROLLER COASTER AT SIX FLAGS; SEVERAL OTHERS INJURED A man has died and several others were injured following a horrifying incident aboard the Goliath roller coaster at Six Flags Over Georgia on Monday, Oct. 12, 2026. According to the Cobb County Police Department, emergency personnel responded to the amusement park in Austell, Georgia, shortly before 4 p.m. after receiving reports of an incident involving a roller coaster. Witnesses told local news outlets that a man fell from the Goliath roller coaster while it was operating, reportedly striking portions of the ride multiple times before falling to the ground. One witness described seeing the man strike the roller coaster car three separate times during his fall. Another parkgoer reportedly discovered that the man’s fall had been captured in a souvenir photograph taken during the ride. Authorities confirmed that one person died and several others sustained injuries. Some reports indicate that four additional people were injured, although the nature and severity of their injuries have not been confirmed. Following the incident, the Goliath roller coaster was stopped on an incline, leaving passengers stranded high above the ground. News helicopters captured footage of emergency crews and park employees evacuating passengers from the stationary roller coaster using an emergency stairway. Six Flags Over Georgia released a statement following the tragedy: “We are deeply saddened by the guest incident at our park today. Our thoughts and heartfelt condolences are with the guest’s family, friends, and loved ones.” The park also confirmed that it was providing support to affected guests and employees and cooperating with law enforcement. Goliath is one of the park’s largest and most popular attractions. The steel roller coaster opened in 2006, stands approximately 200 feet tall and reaches speeds of up to 70 mph. The ride uses lap-bar restraints to secure passengers. At this time, investigators have not determined how the man fell from the roller coaster or whether a mechanical malfunction, restraint failure or another factor contributed to his death. The victim’s identity has not been publicly released. The Cobb County Police Department’s Major Crimes Unit is investigating the incident. This remains a developing story.

‼️ GUNMAN IN ERIE FAMILY MASSACRE IDENTIFIED AS MATT STONE; PREGNANT DAUGHTER AND GRANDCHILDREN AMONG VICTIMS The man suspected of killing eight people, including his own family members, during a mass shooting in Erie, Pennsylvania, on Friday, Oct. 9, has been identified in circulating reports as 45-year-old Matt Stone, also referred to as Matthew Stone. Although his name has surfaced publicly, authorities have not yet officially confirmed his identity. The shooting occurred shortly before 5 p.m. at a residence in the 700 block of Perry Street, where investigators believe the gunman killed seven relatives and a family friend before turning the gun on himself. Among the victims was 29-year-old Angelina Stone, who was just days away from giving birth to her third child. Angelina’s 5-year-old son, Isiah, her nearly 2-year-old daughter, Amari’anna, and her unborn son, Kyrie, also died in the attack. Other victims included Angelina’s mother, two brothers and additional family members. According to Erie Police Chief Rick Lorah, investigators recovered surveillance footage showing two women arriving at the home while gunshots could be heard coming from inside. The women appeared distressed and attempted to get help from neighbors before pounding on the home’s door. Investigators say the gunman then emerged from the residence and fatally shot both women before returning inside. When officers entered the home, they discovered the bodies of two young children on the first floor and four additional victims near the stairwell and second floor. The suspected shooter was found dead upstairs with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. A .40-caliber handgun was recovered. Authorities have confirmed that nine people died, including the shooter. Angelina’s unborn baby also died, bringing the total number of lives lost to 10 when the unborn child is included. Family members have described the suspected gunman as the family’s patriarch and grandfather of some of the youngest victims. Julius Windham, the father of Angelina’s young daughter, said the gunman had never appeared particularly distressed or behaved in a way that suggested he was capable of such violence. Investigators have not established a motive and continue reviewing evidence, including the victims’ cellphones, to determine what led to the killings.

‼️🚨 BREAKING: CHRISTA PIKE DISCHARGED FROM HOSPITAL JUST 10 DAYS AFTER SURVIVING BOTCHED EXECUTION; RETURNS TO PRISON Christa Pike has officially been discharged from the hospital and returned to prison, her attorneys confirmed Saturday, October 10. She spent 10 days hospitalized after Tennessee officials attempted to execute her for the brutal 1995 murder of 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer. Pike has now been transferred back to the Deborah K. Johnson Rehabilitation Center in Nashville, the women’s prison where she has been incarcerated for more than 30 years. In a statement released Saturday, her attorneys confirmed: “Christa Pike was discharged from a local hospital and is now at Deborah K. Johnson Rehabilitation Center where she has been housed for more than 30 years.” Her legal team also expressed gratitude to the medical professionals who helped save her life. “She is grateful to the first responders and her medical team for their care in these extraordinary circumstances. She is continuing to receive medical care at the prison, and we will continue to track her recovery.” Pike’s recovery has been extraordinary considering her condition immediately following the failed execution. After receiving two doses of pentobarbital, a powerful drug intended to cause death, Pike remained alive and was eventually transported by ambulance to a hospital. She remained unconscious for several days and required a ventilator to breathe. At one point, her attorneys were reportedly informed that she might be brain-dead and that doctors were considering removing life support. However, on October 6, Pike unexpectedly regained consciousness and began speaking. By October 8, her attorneys reported that she was walking with assistance, eating regular meals and regaining movement and strength in her severely injured arms. Her attorneys previously described burns, blistering and extensive bruising on her arms following the execution attempt. Despite her physical improvement, concerns remain about potential long-term neurological damage. Her attorneys have said Pike continues to struggle with memory, concentration and confusion, and it could take months to determine whether she suffered permanent cognitive impairment. Pike is also reportedly struggling psychologically with the experience of surviving an execution. Her attorney Randall Spivey previously said she was angry and confused but understood that the state had attempted to execute her. Meanwhile, the circumstances surrounding the failed execution remain under investigation. Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee has suspended the state’s remaining executions for 2026 and ordered an independent review. The commissioner of the Tennessee Department of Correction, Frank Strada, also announced his resignation following the incident. A judge has ordered state officials to preserve evidence connected to Pike’s execution, including materials that could help investigators determine why the lethal injections failed. Pike’s attorneys are also seeking to prevent the state from attempting to execute her a second time. Pike was sentenced to death for the January 1995 torture and murder of Colleen Slemmer, a fellow student at a Knoxville vocational training program. Although Pike has now returned to prison, significant questions remain about her long-term recovery, the state’s execution procedures and whether Tennessee will ever attempt to carry out her death sentence again. #crime #truecrime #news #tennessee #viral #christapike
