A gunman shot and killed two men and one woman today, December 21st, in rural Pennsylvania.

According to Pennsylvania state trooper Adam Reed, the shooting took place between 9:00 and 9:30 a.m. The gunman was allegedly firing from his truck before state troopers took chase. One trooper was injured in a crash; another, wearing a bulletproof vest, was shot in the chest; and the third was hurt by flying glass shards. Local police are expected to soon hold a press conference.

This comes a week after the tragic mass murder in Newtown, Connecticut, the victims of which included twenty children and eight adults. The NRA recently released a statement, their first since the Newtown shooting, in which they advocated the use of armed guards on school property.
