A gunman killed three people and injured another in a shooting spree near Penn State University’s campus before shooting himself, police said.
The shooter, identified by police as 21-year-old Jordan Witmer, killed 62-year-old Dean Beachy at P.J. Harrigan’s Bar & Grill in State College around 10:30 p.m. Thursday, State College Police said. Steven Beachy, 19, who was rushed to the hospital in critical condition, died Friday from his injuries. Nicole Abrino, 21, whom Witmer allegedly had a relationship with, was also wounded. She is listed in critical condition at Mount Nittany Medical Center. The bar is located about two miles from Penn State University’s main campus.
Police said Witmer and Abrino were at P.J. Harrigan’s together when he walked over to the area where the Beachys were sitting. It was not immediately clear why Witmer pulled out a handgun and started shooting, police said.
Witmer fled the scene and crashed his car before breaking into a nearby home, where he killed homeowner 83-year-old George McCormick. Joann McCormick, 80, was also inside the home, but left unharmed.

Interesting how these things happen (Illinois and PA), just a day after Nancy Pelosi’s dog whistle about “A Democrat president could declare a national security emergency and ban guns.”
Any bets on how long until she challenges Trump with this current spontaneous emergency?
I know. I am a cynic.
This is almost a month old.
Why post a nearly month old article and make it seem like it happened today?
Oops. My fault for not paying better attention.
That's great! I'm freaking out here yelling about it to my wife. My Son-in-law works at Penn State. He has been known to take my daughter to P.J. Harrigan’s Bar & Grill for a Yuengling or two. We haven't heard from here all day.
To make the story more in line with their agenda this shooting took place NEAR the university of Pennsylvania so the reader of this rag can draw a conclusion if he or she or “they” can do such a thing, that the shooting was on campus. Despicable fake humans
Next time, aim before you fire! And just after Valentines Day!
We as a society are creating homicidal maniacs because we tell our children they are perfect little beings, always give them a trophy, and tell them they can never fail.
So, when failure inevitably happens, they can not handle it and explode.
Guns do not cause this. A leftist infused society and schooling system causes this.

More stale than last Sunday’s donuts.
Psych drugs. Without a doubt.
And we also pump the boys full of Ritalin and other mind scrambling poisons.
The incident near Penn State campus happened on January 24. At least it was this year . . . </sarcasm>
