Authorities found partial human remains and a rifle in the charred remains of a Delaware County home where a shooting that injured two officers turned into a fire.
District Attorney Jack Stollsteimer confirmed six family members, including the suspect, are dead. Authorities found three bodies in the house; one is believed to be the suspected shooter, another an "innocent victim" and the third body was a child. They believe the suspect got into an argument with one of the children before he shot one of the children.According to law enforcement, the grandparents say they saw their son do it and left the house.
"I can't tell you who that is or anything like that, but we found the remains of a human torso and a rifle, and that's really all I can tell you at this point," Stollsteimer said.The news comes as Officer David Schiazza, who was shot in the leg while responding to the Darby home, was being released from the hospital. Schiazza, a 22-year member of the Lansdowne Police Department, and Officer John Meehan were both shot outside the home on Lewis Avenue Wednesday afternoon.
