Police in Erie, Pennsylvania, say 9 people died in connection with a shooting, including the suspect

A shooting that rocked a city in Pennsylvania left nine people dead, police said, including the suspected shooter.

Authorities didn't provide more details.

"I have not seen anything like this in my 28-plus years," Erie Police Chief Rick Lorah told a local news station. "I'm not sure that the city of Erie has ever seen the loss of life and the devastation that we just witnessed."

Gov. Josh Shapiro said Saturday he offered his administration's "full support" to Erie Mayor Daria Devlin.

Erie is about 117 miles (188 kilometers) north of Pittsburgh.

This story corrects that the total number of people found dead — nine — includes the suspected shooter.
