Matthew Stone Sr, whose victims included his pregnant daughter Angelina, 24, whose unborn son Kyrie was due on the Monday after the Friday night massacre in Erie, Pennsylvania.

Matthew Stone Sr., 45, killed his wife, three adult children, two grandchildren, an unborn baby due days later, and two women who rushed to intervene, then turned the gun on himself at the family's Erie, Pennsylvania home on Friday evening. Juicesiyah Alexander Ezekiel, father of toddler Amari'anna, spoke at a vigil saying the slaughter was "sickening" and something he "wouldn't put on his worst enemy." Doorbell footage obtained by local news shows neighbours screaming "Oh my God!" and fleeing as shots rang out on Perry Street. Police say motive remains under investigation, with mental health cited as a possible factor.

Stone gunned down his pregnant daughter Angelina, 24, whose baby boy Kyrie was due to be born the following Wednesday — days after she posted online calling him 'a blessing.'

Friends Lora Roberts, 37, a mother of five engaged to be married, and Twila Tanner, 51, were killed after running to the house in an attempt to protect the children; Stone shot both women outside before going upstairs and turning the gun on himself.

Roberts had posted on Facebook just months earlier: 'Erie we need to do better — life is precious and it's heartbreaking to see so much pain and violence.'
