Three people were shot and wounded at a baby shower in Pennsylvania Saturday evening after an argument over gifts, Lower Burrell Police Chief John Marhefka said in a press briefing.

Police officers were dispatched to the Kinloch Volunteer Fire Department in Lower Burrell, Pennsylvania, shortly after 6 p.m. for a shooting inside the fire hall.
“This was not an active shooter event, but rather an isolated family incident during a baby shower,” he said.

A preliminary investigation showed the incident began as a family argument about gifts at the baby shower. It escalated into a physical fight and then gunfire when the “suspect introduced a nine-millimeter semiautomatic handgun” and fired three shots into the crowd of about 25 friends and family, the chief said.

A cornfield in western Wisconsin has become the setting of a grisly homicide investigation that bears more than a slight resemblance to a horror movie.

Four bodies were found in a “black SUV that was driven into a standing cornfield off of a rural road” and then abandoned, according to the Dunn County Sheriff’s Office.

The discovery was made Sunday afternoon in the Sheridan Township, about 80 miles west of Green Bay, officials said in a Facebook post.

Two men and two women were found at the scene, reports indicate that they were not dead for more than 24 hours. There’s a mystery as to how they died but it’s clear it was a gunshot wound

Developing ..

Neighbors engaged in a snow shoveling dispute from this week’s significant winter storm in northeastern Pennsylvania are all now dead.  In the northeastern Pennsylvania community of Plains, roughly 15 miles southwest of Scranton, Luzerne County District Attorney Stefanie Salavantis said a husband and wife were shot to death in the street outside their  home just before 9am  Monday.

The suspect who shot them was found dead in his home of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.

The Luzerne county coroner pronounced all three dead just before 11:30 a.m. Monday.

According to a joint statement released by Salavantis and Dale Binker, who serves as Police Chief for Plains Township, 50 year old James Goy and 48 year old Lisa Goy were shot to death by their neighbor, 47 year-old James Spaide.

“The Goys were shoveing the snow from their parking spots, shoveling the snow across the road, and throwing the snow onto Spaide’s property,” the joint statement said. Witnesses told investigators that Spaide asked the couple to stop, escalating the incident to a shouting match. Witnesses said Goy then took a tool he was using to remove snow from his car and threw it at Spaide. When Goy approached Spaide, Spaide retreated into his house, grabbed a gun, and returned to shoot them. The incident, captured on a resident’s security camera, shows Spaide firing multiple times into the Goys. Spaide returned to his house after killing them, where according to officials, he used another firearm to commit suicide as the police arrived and approached his home.

In the security video, Spaide can be heard muttering that the Goys are “scummy” before he appears in the frame, sparking an immediate reaction from the pair.

“This is bull s—,” Lisa shouts.

“You can go f— yourself,” her husband adds.

When Spaide returned with the gun, Lisa shouted, “Go ahead,” she urges her armed neighbor. “Go ahead.” After some more shouting, Spaide opened fire.

The Goy’s 15 year old autistic child remained in the house during his parent’s murder. He is now in the custody of his grandparents.

With the entire incident captured on video and the gunman dead, officials have declared the case “closed.”

This made major news organizations throughout the days afterwards. For some reason, it became a largely shared story in the United Kingdom.

But what may have made matters even more disgusting about this event has been two things 1) The social media response. Some have opined in ways that truly show the socials have become the ghetto of the internet.. and 2) The video. 

THE VIDEO

For more than a day, several Youtube channels had the full video of the entire encounter posted.. It is really not clear how the video was able to be leaked so fast and how it remained on social media for the amount of time it did.

After all, any mention of the My Pillow Guys gets you automatically disbanded! But this video stayed for hours showing the murder of two people in broad daylight..

NBC affiliate WBRE reported this:

The video, which Eyewitness News will not be showing, was shared on social media and garnered over 1,000 views before being removed. Around 1:30 p.m. the link to the video had been disabled, stating: “This video has been removed for violating YouTube’s policy on violent or graphic content,” according to YouTube.

Eyewitness News has reached out to the Luzerne County District Attorney’s Office for comment and is awaiting response.

The image is out there of the encounter right before the first shot is fired .. almost all news sources are using that. The caption underneath reads that it is from the Luzerne County prosecutor’s office. 

How the entire video leaked out is a question.
Why YouTube took days to remove is..

Meanwhile atrocious media was able to share it by the thousands before a crackdown began…

It seems to be offline now .. but with its short life span in the scheme of things, it is now “out there” in Internetland. Ready to pop up again in a future setting when you least expect the horror ..

The New York Police Department is investigating allegations that a precinct commander threatened rapper and actor 50 Cent…

“This is how I wake up this morning, This guy Emanuel Gonzales (sic) is a dirty cop abusing his POWER,” 50 Cent said on Twitter. “The sad part is this man still has a badge and a gun. I take this threat very seriously and im (sic) consulting with my legal counsel regarding my options moving forward.”

Prayers and solemn thoughts go to the family of Valerie Reyes.. all of the morbid and macabre details being showcased through mainstream media must be destroying their mourning and healing.. May God grant this crime to be solved..

In the mean time, the morbid details revealed on CNN and other various news networks tonight..

Days before her body was found inside a suitcase near a Connecticut road, Valerie Reyes called her mother terrified someone would kill her.
“She was just really scared, very frightened,” her mother, Norma Sanchez, told CNN affiliate WABC.
The 24-year-old had been living in a basement apartment in New Rochelle, New York, for some time but had recently grown anxious and even felt paranoid of being alone there.
“I’m afraid someone is going to murder me,” Reyes told her mother.
But it’s unclear why Reyes was afraid. Sanchez said her daughter didn’t mention whether she was scared of anyone in particular.
Tuesday, a group of highway workers found Reyes’ body stuffed into a red suitcase in the affluent town of Greenwich, Connecticut — about 14 miles from her apartment.

Reyes went missing on January 29 2019..  Flyers were placed around New York City and friends and family pleaded with people on social media to help find her..

A week later highway workers doing routine work found her body in a red suitcase..

The bag was about 15 to 20 feet off the shoulder of a road in a quiet neighborhood. When they opened the bag, they found a woman with her hands and feet bound, authorities said.

Mystery abounds when reading details of a the last chilling call Reyes’ now heartbroken mother had with her the night before she went missing.. 

Norma Sanchez revealed her daughter battled depression and anxiety, but she became incredibly paranoid shortly before her disappearance.

‘She was very scared, very frightened,’ Sanchez told The Journal.

‘She didn’t mention anything or no one specific. She just said, ‘I’m scared. I’m paranoid, mommy. I’m getting anxiety attacks’.

‘She was having a hard time talking.’ Her daughter refused to specify why she felt the way she did..

The Barnes & Noble store clerk had broken up with her boyfriend five days earlier, according to Sanchez.   ‘I asked her why do you feel this way? Was there someone at your house?’  She asked about her daughter’s ex-boyfriend but still Reyes told her mother ‘no, it wasn’t him’.

Reyes did however reveal that she didn’t feel safe alone in her apartment, and expressed her concern at the murders of young women in the state.

‘I’m worried someone is going to murder me,’ Reyes then allegedly blurted out.

The next day she failed to show up for work in Scarsdale.

Her family hired a private detective to locate her whereabouts, who managed to track her to a Manhattan ATM at 2am.  The 24-year-old’s card was also used that morning at a different ATM, though it isn’t yet clear whether she used the card or someone else.

Eight days later police found the suitcase with her body..
