Police have surrounded a home in Delaware County and say they may have found their suspect in brutal weekend shooting in Montgomery County that left two people dead, including a small child.
Authorities surrounded that home in the 4300 block of Post Road in Trainer, Pa. around 5:00 a.m.
Viewer photos sent to Action News show SWAT members on the scene as people are evacuated from surrounding homes.
Police have not identified this suspect so far.
Action News has learned that both Montgomery County District Attorney Risa Vetri Ferman and Delaware County District Attorney Michael Green are on the scene.
The shooting happened around 10:30 p.m. Saturday at 50 Renninger Road, in an isolated farmhouse in Douglass Township.
Police say the victims were found in several rooms and they had all been shot in the head with a small caliber handgun.
43-year-old Joseph Shay of Yarmouth, Mass. and his girlfriend's 2-year-old son, Gregory Erdmann of Fall River, Mass., were killed. Both were shot in the head.
The boy's mother, 37-year-old Kathryn Erdmann, was able to call 911 before passing out. She also was shot in the head and is hospitalized in critical condition.
Law enforcement sources believe Joseph, who lives outside Boston, was the intended target.
Also critically injured were the homeowners, 64-year-old Paul Shay and 58-year-old Monica Shay, of New York City.
The couple live in the East Village of Manhattan, where Paul Shay owns a plumbing company, and his wife is the director of the arts and cultural management program at Pratt Institute.
A neighbor, Dan Hoyt, 48, told The New York Daily News that Joseph Shay, their nephew, moved in about a year ago and did construction work for his uncle. "He was trying to help Joseph out," Hoyt said of the uncle.
He said the nephew recently had an argument with a man outside the apartment building.
