Authorities in Saltlick Township, Pennsylvania, say four people were killed in a shooting at a car wash early Sunday morning.
The victims have been identified as Chelsie Cline, 25; Courtney Snyder, 23; Seth Cline, 21; and William Porterfield, 27. Chelsie Cline's half-sister, Sierra Kolarik, told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review that the suspect, 28-year-old Timothy Smith, had become obsessed with Cline. Police say during the attack, Smith suffered a gunshot wound to the head, possibly self-inflicted, and is on life support. He is not expected to survive. Officials said Smith was armed with a semi-automatic rifle and a handgun when he arrived at the car wash.
