Shooting in Lebanon kills 3, including 2 children, wounds 4th person

LEBANON, Pa. (AP) — A shooting outside an eastern Pennsylvania home killed three people, two of them children, and wounded another person, authorities said.

Chief Bret Fisher of the Lebanon police department said officers dispatched to a city residence shortly after 10 p.m. Tuesday after a report of shots fired. Two victims were taken to medical facilities by ambulance and another in a private vehicle and then transferred to another facility.

Mayor Sherry Capello and Fisher said Wednesday that a 19-year-old man was killed along with two boys, aged 8 and 9. A 33-year-old man was said to be recovering after surgery. The children are students in the Lebanon School District, Capello said. Not all of the victims are related, officials said.

“It appears, at the early stages of this investigation, that one of the victims was targeted; the other three victims were uninvolved,” Fisher said. Other people besides the victims were also present in the home, he said.
