outside the Perry Street home, pounding on the door. <\/a><\/p>\nWhen the 45-year-old gunman opened the door, he shot and killed both women. <\/p>\n
Authorities say the 5-year-old boy and the 1-year-old girl were both found on the first floor of the home, while the rest of the victims were found in a second-floor stairwell. <\/p>\n
The victims in that stairwell included the 24-year-old woman who was 8 months pregnant when she was killed.<\/p>\n
The Gunman <\/p>\n
The suspect was found on the second floor from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. <\/p>\n
“Some scenes stay with you long after you leave them. This is one of those scenes,” Erie Police Chief Rick Lorah. <\/p>\n
Officials have not released the identities of those who were killed or the gunman. That information will be provided by the medical examiner’s office at a later time. <\/p>\n
