NICKEL MINES, Pa.-
A 32-year-old milk truck driver took about a dozen girls hostage in a one-room Amish schoolhouse Monday, barricaded the doors with boards and shot several people, killing at least three of the girls and apparently himself, authorities said.
It was the nation’s third deadly school shooting in less than a week, and similar to an attack just days earlier at school in Colorado.
Lancaster County Coroner G. Gary Kirchner initially said six people were killed, but later said he wasn’t certain. Police said they found four people, including the gunman, dead when they got inside.
