Matthew Stone Sr., 45, shot and killed eight people including seven relatives at a home in Erie, Pennsylvania, before taking his own life on Friday.

Matthew Stone Sr., 45, opened fire at a home in Erie, Pennsylvania on Friday, killing eight people before taking his own life. Erie County coroner Lyell Cook released the names of six victims on Monday: Michelle Stone, 44; Angelina Stone, 24, who was due to give birth the following day; Jonathan Stone, 19; Matthew Stone, 21; Lora Roberts, 37; and Twila Tanner, 51. A 5-year-old boy and a 1-year-old girl also died, but state law prevented the coroner from releasing their names.

Seven of the victims were Stone's relatives. The toddler killed was identified by her grandfather Julius Windham as his daughter Amarianna. Both children were the offspring of Angelina Stone. Lora Roberts was a friend of the family who frequently visited the home to help during Angelina Stone's pregnancy. Roberts was a mother of five and a volunteer with a community group helping homeless people. She had posted on social media in July criticising recent shootings in Erie.
