Four people were killed in a shooting incident that injured three state police troopers in Blair County Friday morning.
The crime scene extends along at least six miles of Juniata Valley Road, which runs along the Juniata River, authorities said.
Channel 11s Courtney Brennan reported that police said the shooter was mobile as he exchanged gunfire with officers.
Officials said he used his vehicle to ram a police car during the chase.
One of the dead was the unidentified shooter, who got into a confrontation with police on the road near Geeseytown, Frankstown Township, police said.
Family members of the victims said the woman was the first to be shot at Juniata Valley Gospel Church.
The shooter, who has not been identified, then reportedly shot two men in the driveway of a home after a confrontation at a stop sign.
This person went to their driveway with a pistol, pointed at them and started shooting, said Marie Brenneman, who identified herself as a cousin of one of the victims.
She said the shooter was a neighbor of the two male victims and they were uneasy around him, she said.
None of the troopers injuries are life-threatening, police said.
According to police, one was struck by glass after a bullet shattered the window of his police vehicle during the shootout.
Trooper Adam Reed said one trooper was shot but saved by his bulletproof vest.
Barbara and Bob Stoudnour, who live on Juniata Valley Road, said they returned from a shopping trip to find the roadway shut down.
I dont know what we are going to find when we get home, Bob Stoudnour said.
