Nine people, including a suspected shooter, were killed in a mass shooting in Erie, Pennsylvania, Gov. Josh Shapiro said Saturday.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy heart breaks for this family. Lori and I are praying for their loved ones and the entire Erie community,\u201d Shapiro said of the Friday shooting in a statement<\/a>. He said he has spoken to Erie Mayor Daria Devlin and offered his administration\u2019s \u201cfull support.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to The Associated Press<\/a>, Erie Police Chief Rick Lorah told a local news station, \u201cI have not seen anything like this in my 28-plus years. I\u2019m not sure that the city of Erie has ever seen the loss of life and the devastation that we just witnessed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Information about the shooting remained scant on Saturday. According to Erie authorities, police officers arrived at the scene \u201cwithin minutes\u201d of an alert. All casualties occurred prior to officers\u2019 response to the shooting, and no deaths were the result of a prolonged standoff, authorities said.<\/p>\n
