A Pennsylvania woman was shot and killed by her ex boyfriend on Friday night before he took his own life, according to the Associated Press and local officials.
The incident happened around 10 p.m. in Conemaugh Township, near Johnstown. Authorities say William, 38, rear ended the car driven by his former girlfriend, Amanda, 37. The two reportedly got out of their vehicles and began arguing. Officials say William then shot Amanda and turned the gun on himself. Both were pronounced dead at the scene.
Several people called 911, including a child who was in Amanda’s car and saw what happened. Officials said the child was not hurt.
Cambria County Coroner Jeff Lees described it as a domestic case and said the former couple had ongoing issues. He noted it was the county’s third fatal domestic dispute of the year.
