In a shocking incident that unfolded just after the festive season, an 18-year-old from Pennsylvania has been taken into custody following a tragic shooting at his family home. The young man, identified as Jarrod Noll, is facing serious charges of homicide and attempted homicide after allegedly opening fire on his parents, resulting in the death of his mother and critical injuries to his father.

The Pennsylvania State Police responded to the distress call shortly before 2 p.m. last Friday. The incident took place at a residence on Garrison Ridge Road in Freeport Township, Greene County, which is situated close to the West Virginia border.

Upon arrival, officers discovered both parents suffering from gunshot wounds. Emergency services rushed the couple to a nearby hospital, where the mother was reported to be in critical condition. Sadly, she succumbed to her injuries later.

Jarrod Noll is currently under arrest, with the West Virginia Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation taking him into custody. The charges against him are grave, encompassing both homicide and attempted homicide.

Police arrived to find Noll’s parents suffering from gunshot wounds. Both were transported to a hospital, with his mother in critical condition.

His mother was later pronounced dead at the hospital, while his father was eventually released in stable condition.

Authorities launched a manhunt for Noll, who fled the home on foot after the shooting. He was considered armed and dangerous as police conducted an “extensive search” of the surrounding area.

“We used tracking dogs, we used helicopters, and we used police on foot searching rough terrain,” Pennsylvania State Police Sergeant Richard Sizer said, according to CBS Pittsburgh.

“Obviously, when you have someone on the run with a homicide warrant, on the run with a gun, it is a huge danger to the community,” Sizer continued.

Noll was captured on Saturday by West Virginia State Police without incident.

He will be held in custody in West Virginia before his extradition to Pennsylvania, CBS Pittsburgh reported.

The suspect’s younger siblings were home during the shooting, although he allegedly fired the shots outside the house, according to the outlet. The children were placed in the custody of a relative.
